| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A nurse has been assigned to care for four patients. Which patient condition would the nurse recognize as at risk for fluid volume deficit (FVD)? | Hemorrhage |
| Which statements accurately describe hypertonic fluid deficit? | There is greater water loss than solute loss. It results in shrinkage of cells. |
| Which conditions increase the risk for development of hypertonic fluid volume deficit (FVD)? | Diabetic insipidus Osmotic diuretics Hypertonic intravenous fluids |
| A patient has just returned to the hospital room following surgery. Which postoperative factor places the patient at risk for fluid volume deficit (FVD)? | Patient has a nasogastric tube that is draining. |
| Upon receiving the shift report, the nurse knows to monitor the patient with which condition for fluid volume excess (FVE)? | Cirrhosis of the liver with low albumin |
| Fluid volume excess (FVE) can be caused by what problems? | Taking in too much fluid Retaining too much fluid |
| The nurse is developing an educational program for the staff. Which information regarding hypotonic fluid volume excess (FVE) should be included? | Retention of water is greater than sodium. Serum osmolality decreases. There is an increased circulating volume |
| Which information describes the unique features of isotonic type of fluid volume excess (FVE)? | Retention of water and sodium are equal. There is no change in serum osmolality. |
| Which statements by the nursing student regarding an isotonic fluid deficit demonstrate correct understanding of the condition? | Water and sodium are lost together equally. Serum osmolality does not change. |
| A patient has just returned from surgery. Which patient factors, if present, increases the risk for fluid volume deficit? | A draining wound Dressing changes for severe burns Nausea and vomiting |
| Since a patient was admitted, her baseline weight has decreased from 160 pounds to 152 pounds, a 5% total body weight loss. The nurse is aware that on the dehydration severity scale, the patient falls into which category? | Moderate dehydration |
| A patient with heart failure has developed the clinical manifestations of fluid volume excess. What features of FVE would the nurse expect to be present? | No change in serum osmolality Equal gain of water and sodium |
| A patient has been admitted to the hospital for treatment of severe fluid volume excess related to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). What unique features of fluid volume excess will the nurse expect? | Water gain in excess of sodium Decreased serum osmolality Signs of cerebral edema |
| A student nurse is studying fluid imbalances, including unique and common features. The student would include what information regarding the feature that hypotonic and isotonic FVE have in common? | Increased circulating volume |
