Correct Answers.
Hemorrhage.
(Hemorrhage with significant loss of blood volume from bleeding would increase the risk for
isotonic FVD, leading to FVD.) - answer✔✔Which patient condition would a nurse recognize as
increasing the risk for fluid volume deficit (FVD)?
-Hemorrhage
-Heart failure
-Foot infection
-Acute kidney injury
-It results in shrinkage of cells.
-There is greater water loss than solute loss.
-(Water is pulled out of the cells into the intravascular space, shrinking (dehydrating) the cells.)
-(In hypertonic fluid deficit, sodium (a solute) is lost to a lesser degree than water.) -
answer✔✔Which statements describe hypertonic fluid volume deficit? SATA
-It results in shrinkage of cells.
-Serum osmolality does not change.
-There is greater water loss than solute loss.
-Water and solute are lost at about the same rate.
-Volume moves from extracellular fluid to intracellular fluid.
-(Osmotic diuretics are drugs that draw water from cells; this can result in hypertonic FVD.)
-(Diabetes insipidus, caused by an absence of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), causes massive loss
of body water in excess of loss of solute.)
-(Hypertonic intravenous fluids pull from the cells, resulting in dehydration (i.e., hypertonic
FVD).) - answer✔✔Which factors increase the risk for the development of hypertonic fluid
volume deficit (FVD)? SATA
-Vomiting
-High fever
-Osmotic diuretics
-Diabetic insipidus
-Hypertonic intravenous fluids
Patient has NG tube that is draining.
(Drainage from the tubes or other drains after surgery can contribute to fluid volume loss,
leading to a fluid deficit.) - answer✔✔Which POSToperative factor places a patient at risk for
FVD?
-Patient has a NG tube that is draining.
-Patient received an enema to prepare for surgery.
-Patient lost a moderate amount of blood during surgery.
-Patient received NPO while waiting for surgery.
Cirrhosis of the liver with low albumin.
(Patients with severe liver disorders and low albumin are at risk for FVE) - answer✔✔For which
condition would the nurse monitor a patient with FVE?
, EXAM STUDY MATERIALS 8/7/2024 11:29 AM
-Addison disease
-Postsurgical hip repair
-Severe burns with dressing changes
-Cirrhosis of the liver with low albumin
-Excessive fluid intake
-Excessive fluid retention
-(Excessive fluid intake can increase the circulating fluid volume. Fluid intake includes the fluids
a person drinks, intravenous fluids, and enteral feedings.)
-(When excessive fluids are retained in the circulating volume beyond the needs of the body,
circulating volume increases can potentially result in FVE.) - answer✔✔Which conditions are
associated with FVE? SATA
-Fecal retention
-Excessive fluid loss
-Excessive fluid intake
-Excessive fluid retention
-Decreased antidiuretic secretion
-Serum osmolality decreases.
-There is an increased circulating volume.
-Retention of water is greater than sodium.
-(Serum osmolality decreases as a result of hemodilution because more water is retained than
sodium.)
-(Circulating volume is increased with both isotonic and hypotonic FVE.)
-(In hypertonic FVE, water is ingested at a greater rate than sodium.) - answer✔✔Which info
regarding hypotonic FVE would the nurse include when developing an educational program for
nursing staff? SATA
, EXAM STUDY MATERIALS 8/7/2024 11:29 AM
-Serum osmolality decreases.
-Serum osmolality does not change.
-Retention of water and sodium are equal.
-There is an increased circulating volume.
-Retention of water is greater than sodium.
-There is no change in serum osmolality.
-Retention of water and sodium are equal. - answer✔✔Which features are unique to isotonic
FVE? SATA
-Water shifts into the cells.
-Serum osmolality decreases.
-It increases circulating volume.
-There is no change in serum osmolality.
-Retention of water and sodium are equal.
Moderate dehydration
(Mild=2%, Mod=5%, Severe=8%, Life-t=15%) - answer✔✔Which category on the dehydration
severity scale would a nurse use to describe a patient whose weight has decreased from 160 lb-
152 lb since admission?
-Mild dehydration
-Moderate dehydration
-Severe dehydration
-Life-threatening dehydration
-Water and sodium are lost together equally.
-Serum osmolality does not change.
-(In an isotonic fluid deficit, sodium and water are lost at the same rate.)
