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
D. Magnesium - ANSWER-C.
Rationale:
,2|Page
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

administered. 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:
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
