"building blocks of life".
• The study of cells is
called cell biology or

 Water Intoxication

Occurs when excess fluid

moves from the ECS to
the ICS.
 Etiology
SIADH : Hyper secretion of the ADH
Rapid infusion of hypotonic solution D5W.
Excessive use of tap water as NGT irrigant
Enema in some cases
Psychogenic polydipsia
 Signs and Symptoms:
Increase ICP: Thirst
Initially: Dyspnea on exertion
• headache Dulled sensorium
• personality changes Late signs: pupillary and
• change in behavior VS changes
and LOC seizures and coma
Nausea and vomiting Weight gain.
Cramping and muscle
weakness
Twitching
 Laboratory findings
Serum Na level , 125mEq/L
Serum osmolality ,280 mOsm/Kg
 Management
• Correcting the underlying cause
• Restrict oral and parenteral fluid
intake
• Avoid use of hypotonic solution
• Hypertonic solution in severe situation
 Nursing Management
Best management is prevention
1. closely assess his neurologic status: personality and
LOC
2. monitor V/S and I and O
3. Maintain oral and IV fluid restrictions, as prescribed
4. Alert the dietician and patients’ family to the restrictions.
5. Post a sign in the patients room to alerts staff to fluid
restriction
6. Insert an IV catheter and maintain it, as ordered
7. Administer diuretics as prescribe
8. Observe patients response to therapy
9. Weight patient
10.Monitor laboratory tests
11.Provide Safe Environment
12.Institute seizure Precautions to
severe cases
13.Document assessment and
intervention
