The nurse administers IV hypertonic solution. The fluid shift
occurs in what direction?
A. From intravascular to intracellular
B. From intravascular to interstitial
C. From extracellular to intracellular
D. From intracellular to extracellular - ANSWER-D.
Rationale:
Hypertonic solutions are used to treat cells in a hypotonic
state, which means there is too much fluid in a cell.
Therefore, the goal of the hypertonic solution is to draw that
fluid out of the cell.
Which cation is the most abundant in the human body?
A. Potassium
B. Chloride
C. Sodium
,2|Page
D. Magnesium - ANSWER-C.
Rationale:
Sodium is most abundant (136-145 mEg/L)
A. Potassium normal range 3.5-5.0 mEg/L
B. Chloride is an anion, not a cation
D. Magnesium normal range 1.3-2.1 mEg/L
The nurse receives the patient's blood work. Which lab value is of
greatest concern?
A. Potassium of 3.5 mEq/L
B. Chloride of 100 mEq/L
C. Sodium of 145 mEq/L
D. Calcium of 15.5 mg/dl - ANSWER-D.
Normal ranges:
Sodium: 136-145 mEq/L
Potassium: 3.5-5.0 mEq/L
Chloride: 98-106 mEq/L

Which IV will the nurse prepare?
A. Dextrose 5% in Lactated Ringer's (D5LR)
B. Lactated Ringer's (LR)
C. 0.45% sodium chloride (1/2 NS)
D. 0.9% sodium chloride (NS) - ANSWER-C.
Rationale:
, 4|Page
0.45% sodium chloride (1/2 NS) is a hypotonic solution
A. Dextrose 5% in Lactated Ringer's is a hypertonic solution
B. Lactated Ringer's is an isotonic solution
D. 0.9% sodium chloride is an isotonic solution
In providing diet education for a patient on a low-fat diet, which
information is important for the nurse to share?
A. Unsaturated fats are found mostly in animal sources
B. Trans fat should be less than 7% of total calories
C. Saturated fats are found mostly in animal sources
D. Polyunsaturated fats should be less than 7% of the total
calories - ANSWER-C.
Rationale:
Saturated fats are found mostly in animal sources
