Pathophysiology Discussion Post #2 Hypocalcemia
My topic is Hypocalcemia. The questions will be based on this topic.
What is the electrolyte disturbance? (ex. Hypokalemia — title)
What is the normal serum blood range for this electrolyte and what has happened to the value when the electrolyte disturbance occurs?
Describe the clinical manifestations (signs, symptoms, EKG changes) that happen when the electrolyte disturbance happens. Is there a difference between early and late clinical manifestations?
How are you (as a student) going to memorize this electrolyte disturbance? Would you create a flashcard? Rewrite on notebook paper? Use a picmonic?
