Solutions, Pressures, Low and High fluid volume

        Help!  

Question
Answer
The pressure exerted by solutes in solution   Osmotic -Exerted mainly by sodium ions and plasma proteins  
🗑
Pressure that is due to albumin in the bloodstream   Oncotic -Exerted by proteins ; albumin is the most common plasma protein  
🗑
Standard IV solution used as a bloodstream volume expander (0.9% NaCl is commonly used)   Isotonic -Has the same concentration as intracellular fluid  
🗑
Increases sodium and water retention by the kidneys   Aldosterone -Stimulates sodium and water reabsorption by the kidneys, increasing fluid volume  
🗑
The main intracellular cation   Potassium -ATP pump transports potassium into the cell  
🗑
Excreted in response to fluid volume overload   Natriuretic Peptides -Hormonal signals released by the brain and heart in response to excess fluid in the body -Signals increase urine output and reduce fluid volume  
🗑
Characterized by excess fluid in interstitial and intracellular fluid compartments   Edema  
🗑
Diminished water volume in intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid   Dehydration  
🗑
Type of IV given to reduce cellular swelling (Mannitol IV solution is an example)   Hypertonic -Makes the cells shrink/pulls water out of cells  
🗑
The main determinant of extracellular fluid (ECF) osmolarity   Sodium -Plays a primary role in plasma osmolarity  
🗑
A young male arrives at the emergency department having suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. To reduce swelling of the brain’s cells, a __________________ IV solution is administered.   Hypertonic  
🗑
In conditions of fluid volume deficit, which of the following would you expect to be elevated? Select all that apply.   -Thirst -Renin -Antidiuretic hormone  
🗑
A client has fluid volume excess. Which are the symptoms the client might exhibit due to fluid volume excess? Select all that apply.   -Edema -Increased urine output -  
🗑
Which of the following is a primary determinant of oncotic pressure?   Albumin  
🗑
What does renin do?   Encourages the body to maintain water and sodium  
🗑
What are osmoreceptors?   Receptors in hypothalamus that activate thirst  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
