In this episode, we dive into electrolyte imbalances, examining their vital role in regulating fluid balance, muscle function, and nerve response. We'll explore major electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, covering both deficiencies and excesses. Learn to identify risk factors, expected findings, and patient-centered care strategies for managing these imbalances. We also discuss interventions for conditions like hypernatremia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, and more, helping you master nursing care for electrolyte disturbances.
