    This document lists various physical findings and their associated potential fluid, electrolyte, or acid-base imbalances. It indicates that findings such as loss of over 2 pounds in 24 hours, orthostatic hypotension, and dark yellow urine could be associated with sodium, potassium, or chloride imbalances. Other findings listed that could indicate electrolyte imbalances include increased pulse rate, lung crackles or rhonchi, edema, dry mucus membranes, and restlessness or confusion. Muscle weakness, tremors, and changes to reflexes or heartbeat may signal potassium, calcium, magnesium, or phosphate problems.
