Looks like helen has wonky electrolyte levels. she also has a low sodium which would match with a diuresis presumably caused by the antihypertensive?

with such a low sodium a fluid shift would occur which would be related to a compromised GCS.

I know why but can anyone else explain it? this case is a very good example for when we do body fluids.

Remember helen

why would 20% NaCl cause a diuresis?

you may wish to look at the following information again. This relates to osmolarity that you did in cells.

Admission labs were Na 110, K 2.7, Urea 2.4,
>Creatinine 46, Mg 0.65, Corr Calcium 2.15, Phospahte
>1.01, Glucose 7.5

>*Helen was being managed on fluid restriction, having
>IVF of D5W + 20% NaCl with regular K additives.


She developed dehydration due to her large diuresis,
