NCLEX-RN Complete Prep Course — Lesson 89: Sodium Imbalances: Hyponatremia and Hypernatremia

Sarah Mitchell frames sodium as a water problem the brain keeps score of. She sorts hyponatremia by volume status, from SIADH and thiazides to heart failure, matches each to isotonic saline, fluid restriction, or three percent saline for severe symptoms, and explains why correction is capped near eight to ten milliequivalents per liter a day. Hypernatremia, slow water replacement, SIADH versus diabetes insipidus, seizure precautions, and two worked scenarios round it out.
