Diffusion - Correct Answer - The movement of particles from an
area with high concentration to an area of lower concentration Ex.
Oxygen or Carbon Dioxide
Active transport - Correct Answer - (Goes against- inside to
outside of the cell) Low concentration to high concentration using
energy (ATP)
The movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into
a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and
requiring energy
Osmotic Pressure - Correct Answer - The pressure needed to
stop the movement of water across the membrane (Capillaries
have high concentration causing water to follow into the
capillaries)
, Oncotic Pressure (Colloid) - Correct Answer - Pulls water into
the capillaries. The pressure created by the osmotic effects of the
solutes
Hydrostatic Pressure - Correct Answer - Pushes (Outward
pressure) The pressure that the fluid exerts on the walls of its
container. (Drives fluid outside of the Capillary walls by applying
pressure to the walls creating holes)
Nursing Delegation - Correct Answer - Appointing of assigning
another person to do a task to achieve outcomes for which you
are still responsible for
Isotonic Solution - Correct Answer - -0.9% Saline
-LR (Lactated Ringers)
Hypotonic Solution - Correct Answer - Concentration of fluid is
lower then it should be (don't give to ICP pts, infuse slowly & not
for hypovolemia = low volume of fluids
- 0.45% Saline
