NUR 2090 test 2 Questions with 100%
Correct Answers
Body Fluid Correct Answer: Water containing electrolytes, blood cells, and
other soluble molecules.
Intracellular Fluid (ICF) Correct Answer: Fluid located within the cells.
Extracellular Fluid (ECF) Correct Answer: All fluid outside the cells.
Intravascular Fluid Correct Answer: Fluid inside the blood and lymphatic vessels.
Vascular Volume Correct Answer: The most regulated aspect of fluid balance,
crucial for blood pressure maintenance.
Osmolality Correct Answer: The proportion of dissolved particles in a given
weight of fluid (mOsm/L).
Osmolarity Correct Answer: The concentration of dissolved substances in a
given volume of fluid (mOsm/L).
Normal Serum Osmolality Range Correct Answer: 280-300 mOsm/kg.
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) Correct Answer: Hormone that adjusts the amount
of water excreted in urine, controlled by hypothalamic cells monitoring body
fluid osmolality.
Diffusion Correct Answer: Movement of molecules from an area of higher
molecular concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Osmosis Correct Answer: Movement of fluid through a semipermeable
membrane.
, Active Transport Correct Answer: Process requiring energy by which molecules
are moved across membranes from an area of lesser concentration to an area
of greater concentration.
Filtration Correct Answer: Transfer of water and dissolved substances through a
permeable membrane from a region of high pressure to a region of low
pressure.
Fluid Imbalance Correct Answer: Extracellular fluid and volume deficit, also
known as hypovolemia, saline deficit, and isotonic dehydration.
Possible Causes of Fluid Imbalance Correct Answer: Inadequate intake,
abnormal losses (such as vomiting or diarrhea), or both.
Treatment for Fluid Imbalance Correct Answer: Includes oral and/or IV
replacement of sodium, chloride, and water in the same concentrations found
in body fluid.
Oral Dehydration Fluids Correct Answer: Salty liquids such as broth and tomato
juice.
IV Normal Saline Correct Answer: 0.9% sodium chloride used for intravenous
therapy.
Intravenous (IV) Therapy Correct Answer: Infusion of a fluid into a vein to prevent
or treat fluid or electrolyte imbalance or to deliver medications, nutrition, or
blood products.
Types of Intravenous Solutions Correct Answer: Includes crystalloid solutions
(isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic) and colloid solutions (blood products,
parenteral nutrition).
