The 3 major compartments that contain fluid in the body are intravascular, interstitial,
and, intracellular. The body maintains a state of homeostasis by shifting fluid between
these three compartments. The major electrolytes responsible for shifting fluid between
compartments are sodium and potassium.
An increase in sodium intake can result in fluid volume excess. While a dry mouth is a
sign and symptom of fluid volume deficit.
The community-based living center had a water filtration unit installed. Which sodium
sensitive client should the nurse carefully observe? Select all that apply. - ANSWER The
client with a medical history of bi-polar disorder takes lithium 300 mg TID.
The client with a medical history of congestive heart failure.
The nurse should closely monitor the client with congestive heart failure and the client
taking lithium. Because the water filtration system will increase the amount of sodium in
the water and these clients would be adversely affected by the increased sodium intake.
Increased sodium will cause the congestive heart failure patient to retain water and
become fluid overloaded, while the client who takes lithium is at risk for decreased
therapeutic drug levels due resulting from the increased sodium intake.
Although all individuals should monitor their sodium intake, the clients with diabetes, a
healthy pregnancy, and a history of pressure ulcers are not at risk for being impacted by
the low amount of sodium added to their water by the filtration system.

deficit (FVD), the nurse explains that the client should see what indicators that their

Light colored urine
Decreased thirst
