Top Fluid And Electrolyte Flashcards

Welcome to our fluid and electrolyte flashcards! Electrolytes are the minerals in your body that have an electrical charge. They are in your blood, urine, and body fluids. Maintaining the right balance of electrolytes helps your body’s blood chemistry, muscle action and other processes. Sodium, calcium, potassium, chlorine, phosphate, and magnesium are all electrolytes. So what is so important about these electrolytes? Well, we thought you’d never ask! We have designed three exclusive sets of flashcards for you on this critical subject.

In our first set of flashcards, we begin with the many types of solutions and solvents! In the next set of flashcards, we have facts on fluid and its movement. In our final set of flashcards, we have scenarios and what the possible types of problems there might be that are causing them. Good luck and enjoy yourself as you begin your studies.
