Are electrolytes ions in the body capable of carrying an electrical charge?.
A.Electrolytes help with proper maintenance of body function and acid based balance ,it requires complex interactions between these elements. And in the body these elements (potassium, sodium, calcium, chlorine and phosphorus)form ions- electrically charged particles.
B.They are negatively charged.
C.Sodium and potassium cannot form ions.
D. All of the above are wrong.
Correct answer is A. Rationale can be seen in A.
2.All of the following can cause hyponatremia Except?.
A.Ingestion of large amount of sodium bicarbonate as antacids.
B.Nauseated and vomiting excessively. C.Frequency of urination due to the use of diuretics such as Lasix.
D.Drinking excessive amount of fluid. E.Low sodium of less than 135mEq/L.
Correct answer is A.
Rationale ingestion of sodium bicarbonate will not lead to hyponatremia.
Nurses You Move Me 
I think the second answer’s rationale should be elaborated a little bit more. “as the antacids contain sodium, therefore, they are not likely to cause hyponatremia.

The answer is good I like it that way. My targeted audience are nursing students. I need critical thinking skills 😂 Thanks anyway for your input.

Fair enough. I just think it will be remembered more. That’s how I used to learn it anyway when I was revising for the NCLEX 😁 I wanted to know the why.. but hey, whatever works 👍

Thanks I will look at again I appreciate you. Why ?.Because when something is challenging or you disagree it forces you to research for findings. And that you will not forget in a hurry.

It’s a good attitude to have ☺️ I suppose we all have our own little ways of digesting knowledge! It’s great, though, that you’re posting questions and answers. I wish I had this when I was revising! ☺️

I am writing a lot today about hyponatremia after reading so many books on it.Still remember my chemistry and physics many years back.
