NRSG 214 Fundamentals of Nursing | Maintaining Fluid an
Electrolyte Balance - Funds LLU Questions With Complete
Solutions
Active transport Correct Answers substance that move across a
cell membrane from a LESS concentrated solution to a MORE
concentrated solution
requires energy to do so like ATP
substance combines with a carrier on the outside surface of the
cell membrane and then moves to the inside of the cell
ex: Na/K pump
anasarca Correct Answers Anasarca is a general swelling in the
body, considered a massive edema
Ascites Correct Answers a large amount of fluid accumulation
in the abdominal cavity
Can Insensible loss of fluid output be measure? Correct
Answers no
Diffusion Correct Answers the movement of molecules
through a semipermeable membrane from an area of HIGHER
concentration to an area of LOWER concentration.
Passive movement that is affected by size of molecule
, ECF - Interstitial fluid Correct Answers accounting for
approximately 75% of ECF, surrounds the cells
ECF - Intravascular fluid
What is the % found in ECF Correct Answers or plasma,
accounts for approximately 20% of ECF and is found within the
vascular system
ECF - Transcellular fluid Correct Answers 1. cerebrospinal
2. pericardial
3. pancreatic
4. pleura
5. intraocular
6. biliary
7. peritoneal
8. synovial fluids
ECF is divided into three compartments. What are they?
Correct Answers 1. Intravascular fluid -blood vessels (main
one)
2. Interstitial fluid - surrounding the cells (the other main one)
3. Transcellular fluid - cerebrospinal, pericardial, pancreatic,
pleural, intraocular, biliary, peritoneal, and synovial fluids
Electrolytes Correct Answers charged particles; ions
