Producing aldosterone C. Slowing the release of ADH D. Secreting ANP Correct Ans: A. secreting renin Giving a hypertonic IV solution to a patient may cause too much fluid to be: A. pulled from the cells into the bloodstream, which may cause the cells to shrink B. pulled out of the bloodstream into the cell C. Pushed out of the bloodstream into the extravascular spaces D.
