A 93 year old female is Transported to the emergency department from her nursing home because of dangerously low blood pressure. She's bedridden because of advanced dementia from Alzheimer's disease. She is no longer verbal. The nurses notes from the nursing home say she has had severe diarrhea for several days it is not taking in much fluid or food orally. Her blood pressure is very low at 80/55, with normal being about 120/80. Her serum (blood) sodium is high at 160, with a normal being about 140. Do you expect her blood osmolality to be high, low, or normal? Why is her serum sodium high? What kind of IV solution would you give her and why?

Rob, a 28-year-old male, complained of abrupt polydipsia (excessive thirst) and polyuria (excessive urine volume). His serum sodium was 145 mmol/L and fasting blood glucose was 93 mg/dL. Blood and urine analyses provided the following results: serum potassium was 2.8 mEq/L. Water deprivation and hypertonic saline infusion did not cause a significant reduction in polyuria, nor did the urine become more concentrated. Complete water deprivation resulted in a urine osmolarity of 225 mOsm/L. Following administration of exogenous ADH, there was a significant reduction in urine volume and an increase in urine concentration.

1. A patient who presents to their NP (nurse practitioner) with severe vomiting and diarrhea will likely suffer from a fluid volume __________ (deficit or overload) 2. Which then causes a(n) __________ (decrease or increase) in the concentration of the plasma (blood) space. 3. A __________ osmolar or __________ tonic state will occur because of changes to the blood concentration. (hyper vs hypo) 4. Osmolality will likely be (provide value) __________ (Normal osmolality: 280-295)
