Describe the physiology of each electrolyte discussed in the chapter.
State the clinical significance of each of the electrolytes.
Calculate osmolality, osmolal gap, and anion gap and discuss the clinical usefulness of each.
Discuss the analytic techniques used to assess electrolyte concentrations.
Correlate the information with disease state, given patient data.
Identify the reference ranges for sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, magnesium, and calcium.
