2026 With Fully Explained
Studyguide

Osmolality - correct answer.💖💖💖💖✔<<<<<amount of particles within a fluid contributing to a
fluid's concentration



- High osmolality: hypertonic solution

- balanced osmolality: isotonic solution

- Low osmolality: hypotonic solution



Hydrostatic pressure - correct answer.💖💖💖💖✔<<<<<A force pressing outward against a surface



Osmotic pressure - correct answer.💖💖💖💖✔<<<<<an inward pulling pressure towards a higher
concentration



Diffusion - correct answer.💖💖💖💖✔<<<<<passive movement of particles down a concentration
gradient



Active Transport - correct answer.💖💖💖💖✔<<<<<using energy to move electrolytes across cell
membrane



Fluid moves to the cell in the following order: - correct answer.💖💖💖💖✔<<<<<1. Vascular
System

2. Capillary Membrane

, 3. Interstitial Area

4. Cell Membrane



Osmolality Imbalance - correct answer.💖💖💖💖✔<<<<<the blood is too concentrated/dilute



Labs to Measure Osmolality - correct answer.💖💖💖💖✔<<<<<Osmolality Specific- most
accurate!!



Urine Specific Gravity-



Hgb & Hct- the higher the Hct, the higher the osmolality



Sodium levels- water follows salt!! If sodium is elevated, then osmolality is elevated



Types of IV Fluids - correct answer.💖💖💖💖✔<<<<<



Hypertonic Solution - correct answer.💖💖💖💖✔<<<<<- Concentrated and usually given when
Blood Osmolality is Low

- Combination of Dextrose & Saline together W/ Water makes these fluids hypertonic

- Help draw fluid back into the Vascular Space= decreasing edema

- Low Blood Osmolality + Hypertonic Fluid = Isotonic Blood



- D5 NaCl

- D5 LR

- D5 0.45% NaCl



Isotonic Solution - correct answer.💖💖💖💖✔<<<<<- Used for dehydration

- Equal balance Particles and Water

- Normal Blood Osmolality + Isotonic Fluid = No change in Isotonic Blood
