NSG 170 Exam 1 Practice Questions and
Correct Answers
Body fluids required for homeostasis ✅blood, serum, albumin, urine, bile, hormones,
cerebrospinal fluid
Conditions that create imbalance of fluids and electrolytes ✅gastroenteritis
Burns
Kidney disorders
Npo
Anorexia/bulemia
Dehydration
Exercise in hot conditions
Water ✅-vital to health
-normal cellular functioning medium for metabolic reactions
-transports nutrients and waste products
-acts as lubricant insulator and shock absorber
-helps to regulate and maintain body temperature
Total body water affected by ✅gender and body size
More obese= less muscle, more fat, less water
Women=more body fat, less body fluid
Intracellular fluid ✅-found within the cell
-approximately two-thirds of adult body fluid
-vital to normal cell functioning
-contains solutes (oxygen, electrolytes and glucose)
Primary cations of intracellular fluid ✅potassium, magnesium
Major anions of intracellular fluid ✅phosphate and sulfate
Extracellular fluid ✅-fluid outside the cell
-one third of total body fluids
-two compartments
-what labs measure
Two compartments of extracellular fluid ✅1. Intravascular fluid
-20% of ecf
-found within vascular system
Carries nutrients to cells, waste products from cells
What does intravascular fluid (plasma) have that interstitial doesnt? ✅protein (albumin)
Other components of extracellular fluid ✅1. Lymph
2. Transcellular fluid
-csf, pericardial, pancreatic, pleura, intraocular
-bilary, peritoneal and synovial fluids
Movement of body fluid across cell and capillary membranes accomplished by
________ ✅-osmosis
-diffusion
-filtration
-active transport
Osmosis ✅movement of water across cell membranes from less concentrated solution
to more concentrated solution
Soultes ✅crystalloids, colloids
Include electrolytes, o2, co2, glucose, urea, amino acids, proteins
Crystalloids ✅salts that dissolve readily into true solutions
Examples ns, lr
Colloids ✅protein substances that increase the colloid oncotic pressure
Solvent ✅the component of a solution that can dissolve a solute
Water is the solvent in the body
Osmolality ✅the concentration of solutes in body fluids
Tonicity ✅the ability of a surrounding solution to cause a cell to gain or lose water
Osmolality of a solution
, Isotonic solution ✅a solution in which the concentration of solutes is essentially equal
to that of the cell which resides in the solution- no movement across the cell membrane
Lactated ringers (lr) and normal saline are used for what conditions? ✅-hypotensive
and hypovolemic patients
-volume expansion
Hypertonic solution ✅a solution in which the concentration of solutes is greater than
that of the cell that resides in the solution; higher osmolality than body fluids
Hypotonic solutions ✅lower osmolality than body fluids
Less solute than hypertonic fluids
Causes fluids to move into cells
Used for dehydration and hypernatremia
Examples of hypotonic fluids ✅0.45% ns
D5 0.45%ns
Osmotic pressure ✅-power of a solution to draw water across semipermeable
membrane
What type of solution exerts a higher osmotic pressure and what does that do?
✅solution with a higher solute concentration (osmolality) exerts higher osmotic
