100% CORRECT (NEW 2025/ 2026 UPDATE)
(VERIFIED SOLUTIONS)- GALEN
1. The increase in urine output caused by the excretion of
substances, such as glucose, mannitol, or contrast agents in
the urine.: Osmotic diuresis
2. outward push of vascular fluid against capillary walls: Capillary
hydrostatic pressure
3. Inward pulling force of particles (proteins) in the interstitial
fluid: Intersitial fluid colloid/oncotic osmotic pressure
4. Diffusion is: higher to lower
5. Osmosis is: lower to higher
6. Only ______ moves freely, not electrolytes: water 13. Normal
ways of loosing fluid: Sweating urinating

14. You need a good BP to perfuse the: kidneys
25% of perfusion
15. ADH: Released by BP, HTN, and exercise
Free water hormone
Reabsoprtion of water by the renal collecting ducts and dilutes the
blood and other body fluids
16. Aldosterone: Salt water hormone
Causes the renal tubules to reabsorb sodium and water, which
expands the extracellular fluid volume
17. What organ systems need to be healthy to maintain fluid
homeostasis?: 18. Abnormal fluid excretions: Wounds
Hemorrhage trauma burns vomiting Paracentesis
GI tubes

19. Geriatric considerations: message mechanism isn't working
Inability to swallow Misuse of medications filtration rate is lower
20. If your sodium is normal, it is: fluid volume deficit
21. ECV deficit is caused by removal of a: salt containing fluid from
volume
