What is hypercalcemia, and what are the key concepts the NCLEX wants RN nursing students and LPN students to know about fluid and electrolyte imbalances?
Hypercalcemia is fancy words for high calcium in the blood, or high blood serum calcium. Normal calcium levels range from 8.4 - 10.5 mEq/dL according to the NCLEX (NCSBN boards). Calcium is an electrolyte that helps keep the 3 B’s strong: bones, blood (with clotting factors) and beats (heart beats), therefore electrolyte imbalances like hypercalcemia lead to signs and symptoms of nausea, vomiting, , confusion, constipation, muscle pain, headaches, and even depression.
This video is part of a 12 video fluid and electrolytes series to help registered nurse RN students and LPN students with electrolyte imbalance memorization tricks. In this video Michael Linares, RN from Simple Nursing helps pinpoint the exact causes and treatments for hypercalcemia, which is expected to know for the NCLEX, HESI, ATI, and Kaplan proctor exams.
