NSG 170 Fluid and Electrolytes Test
Questions and Answers (100% Pass)
Chloride (Cl-) - ✔️✔️ECF
85-115
Friends Na+ and K+, likes both
Na always wins
Functions: Diffuse between intra and extra cellular, formation of HCL in gastric juice, Reg.
osmotic pressure (H20 balance) and acid base balance
Sources: food containing Na also contain Cl
acid - ✔️✔️Substance that contains hydrogen ion that can be taken or released
acidosis - ✔️✔️Excess of hydrogen in ECF
pH below 7.35
Active transport - ✔️✔️Movement against a gradient
Needs ATP or energy
Agglutinin - ✔️✔️Antibody causes clumping of specific antigens
Alkalosis - ✔️✔️Lack of hydrogen in ECF
pH above 7.45
Anions - ✔️✔️negative charged ions
Antibody - ✔️✔️immunoglobin produced by the body in response to a specific antigen
Antigen - ✔️✔️foreign material capable of inducing a specific immune response
autologous transfusion - ✔️✔️a transfusion of blood donated by a patient for their personal use
Base - ✔️✔️Can accept or trap hydrogen ion
Alkali
Blood typing - ✔️✔️Lab exam to determine persons blood type
Buffer - ✔️✔️Prevents body from becoming overly acid or alkaline
3 systems are: Carbonic acid sodium bicarbonate
phosphate
protein
Capillary filtration - ✔️✔️passage of fluid across the wall of the capillary; results from the
force of blood "pushing" against the walls of the capillaries
Cation - ✔️✔️A positive charged ion
Colloid osmotic pressure - ✔️✔️pressure exerted by plasma proteins on permeable membranes
in the body; synonym for oncotic pressure
cross matching - ✔️✔️determining compatibility between blood specimens
dehydration - ✔️✔️decreased water volume in body tissue
No pulse change
diffusion - ✔️✔️Movement of particles from high to low (going down gradient, doesn't need
ATP or energy) until equal
Edema - ✔️✔️Fluid accumulation in extracellular spaces
Electrolyte - ✔️✔️Substance capable of breaking into ions
Develops electric charge when dissolved
ECF - ✔️✔️Extracellular fluid includes intravascular and interstitial
Outside the side
30% of total water or 20% body weight
Hydrostatic pressure - ✔️✔️force exerted by a fluid against the container wall
Hypotonic - ✔️✔️Has lesser concentration than solution being compared to
"Hippo"
Fluid into cell
Cell swells
1/2 NS (45% Maintenance fluid, hypernatremia, dilutes plasma sodium without dropping
quickly), 1/4 NS (225%), 1/3 NS (333% Hypernatremia and aids kidneys)
Big # solutions
Above number 30
Hypertonic - ✔️✔️Has greater concentration than solution which is compared
Ex people with lots of energy running around alot
Makes them skinny
This makes cells skinny
3% NS, 5% NS, W's
Any small/tiny number like skinny hyper people
ICF - ✔️✔️Intracellular fluid
Fluid inside cell
70% of total water or 40% body weight
Ion - ✔️✔️atom or molecule with an electrical charge
Isotonic - ✔️✔️Has same concentration as solution compared to
Remains intravascular
Makes no shift
"I so perfect" doesn't need to gain, lose, or change
NS (0.9% NaCl blood transfusion)
Lactated Ringer (multi electrolytes no Mg or PO43 metabolic acidosis, hypovolemia, burns,
fluid loss from GI source)
D5W in water
Used for fluid loss, dehydration, hypernatremia (has no sodium so dilutes amount of sodium)
Sodium potassium pump - ✔️✔️sodium out, potassium in
by active transport
Osmolarity - ✔️✔️Concentration of particles in a solution
Solution's pulling power
Osmosis - ✔️✔️Movement of water low to high until equal
pH - ✔️✔️how much hydrogen is in present
7.35-7.45
>90 years old 7.25-7.45
Solutes - ✔️✔️substance dissolved in a solution
