PN 4003 VARIATIONS IN HEALTH EXAM 3
CORE CHRONIC ILLNESS AND COMPLEX
PATIENT CARE REVIEW 2026
◉ Filtration.
Answer: Movement of solute and solvent across a membrane caused
by hydrostatic (water pushing) pressure
◉ Osmosis.
Answer: Occurs through a semipermeable membrane using osmotic
(water pulling) pressure
◉ Active transport system is dependent on the presence of
___________..
Answer: ATP
◉ Fluid types.
Answer: isotonic
hypotonic
hypertonic
, ◉ Isotonic solution examples.
Answer: normal saline
lactated ringers
◉ Hypotonic solution examples.
Answer: 0.45% NaCl
◉ Hypertonic solution examples.
Answer: Dextrose 5% in Normal saline solution
◉ What is the baroreceptor reflex?.
Answer: When BP falls, HR increases and arterioles constrict
resulting in fluid retention.
◉ Volume receptors.
Answer: Respond to fluid excess in the atria and great vessels,
stimulation of these receptors creates a strong renal response that
increases urine output
◉ Renin-angiotension-aldosterone is an enzyme secreted by the
.......... when arterial pressure or volume ...........
