Imbalances in these components, commonly seen in various medical conditions, can disrupt multiple body systems and lead to serious consequences, including death, if untreated. Thus, it is crucial for all nurses to understand the treatment and management of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base imbalances in their practice.

It discusses the composition of body fluids, outlining the significance of fluid compartments and their regulation. Mechanisms such as oncotic and hydrostatic pressure, osmosis, and routes of fluid gain and loss are described.

Sometimes this process is called respiration but it is important not to confuse it with the chemical process, cellular respiration, that takes place in the mitochondria of cells. Breathing is brought about by the movement of the diaphragm and the ribs.

BJ is thinking “nice – I’m going to have a great run today”. Temperature at the start of the race is 21°C, and with the excitement of the start, BJ goes out hard and his speed for the first 2 km is 13 km · h -1 . He feels great, he feels that he is in for a good run, and he decides to maintain this pace.
