HOSA Clinical Nursing Nutrition and
Metabolism Exam Actual Questions
and Answers 2026
water -
correct answer ✅is the most essential nutrient of life. 60-65% of
the body weight is water and no physiology can function without it.
electrolyte -
correct answer ✅is a compound that dissociate in a solution to
break up in to separate electrically charged particles (ions) - cation,
anions
intracellular fluid -
correct answer ✅40% body weight (25 liters)
extracellular fluid -
correct answer ✅20% body weight (20 liters)
intracellular and extracellular -
correct answer ✅Intracellular fluid and extra cellular fluid are
separated by cell membrane, which is semi permeable. Body fluid
composed of water, electrolyte, and non-electrolyte.

Metabolism Exam Actual Questions
and Answers 2026
electrolytes composition of the fluid -
correct answer ✅Electrically charged particles act as a conductor
of electrical current in the solution
osmolarity -
correct answer ✅refers to the concentration of active particles per
unit of solution. Two opposing forces exist with in the vascular
compartment.
These are:
1. Hydrostatic pressure of the blood which forces fluid out through
semi permeable membrane
2. Osmotic pressure of the blood protein - which is pulling or
holding force opposing the flow of fluid across the vascular
membrane
Disturbance in Fluid Balance -
correct answer ✅1. Fluid deficit - negative fluid balance -
dehydration fluid loss
exceeds the fluid intake.
Causes: - fluid defect is caused by:
Excess fluid loss:
