How does fluid movement work? - Answer- - Arterial end = capillary hydrostatic pressure = pushing pressure ---> filtration - Venous end = higher capillary oncotic pressure --> pulling pressure ---> reabsorption What is edema? - Answer- accumulation of fluid into interstitial space What causes edema? - Answer- 1. increased capillary hydrostatic pressure (venous obstruction) 2. Decreased plasma oncotic pressure (losses or diminished production of albumin) 3. Increased capill...

A patient in respiratory distress and is breathing 33 breaths per minute. Which ABG value is consistent with the clinical scenario? PCO2 15 pH 7.30 pH 7.45 O2 sat 100% A patient who is breathing 33 breaths per minute is hyperventilating and blowing off CO2; therefore the PCO2 level will be low. The patient will most likely experience a respiratory alkalosis and the two pH values provided are not consistent with this diagnosis. A patient has a sodium level of 115 mEq/L and is disoriente...
