Beginning from the semiclassical Hamiltonian, the Fermi pressure and Bohm potential for the quantum hydrodynamics application (QHD) at finite temperature are consistently derived in the framework of the local density approximation with the first order density gradient correction. Previously known results are revised and improved with a clear description of the underlying approximations. A fully non-local Bohm potential, which goes beyond of all previous results and is linked to the electron polarization function in the random phase approximation, for the QHD model is presented. The dynamic QHD exchange correlation potential is introduced in the framework of local field corrections, and considered for the case of the relaxation time approximation. Finally, the range of applicability of the QHD is discussed.
