FCCN level 1 2025 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
VERIFIED ANSWERS (100% CORRECT
ANSWERS) A+ GRADED | ALREADY PASSED!!
minimum urine output for adult - ANSWER✔✔-0.5mL/kg/hr
ADH (antidiuretic hormone) - ANSWER✔✔-- water retainer
- vasoconstrictor (also called Vasopressin)
- produced by hypothalamus
- store and released from posterior pituitary
ADH pathway - ANSWER✔✔-- hypothalamus senses low blood volumed and
increased serum osmolality
- signal pituitary to release ADH
- ADH causes kidney to retain water

,- water retention increases blood volume and decreases serum osmolality
ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) - ANSWER✔✔-- cardiac hormone stored in atria
- released when atrial pressure increases
*works opposite of RAAS by decreasing BP and reducing intravascular volume
- important diagnostic marker in CHF
hydrostatic pressure - ANSWER✔✔-- forces fluids and solutes through the capillary
wall and into the tissue spaces
colloid osmotic pressure - ANSWER✔✔-- pulling force of albumin in the intravascular
spaces
- pull fluid into vasculature
maintenance fluid therapy - ANSWER✔✔-- replaces normal ongoing losses of water
and electrolytes (urine, sweat, respiration, stool)

, replacement therapy - ANSWER✔✔-- corrects any existing water and or electrolyte
deficits
isotonic fluids - ANSWER✔✔-- tonicity equal to plasma in the body
- no fluid shifts because the solutions are equally concentrated
- LR
- NS
- D5W
hypotonic fluids - ANSWER✔✔-- lower concentration of solutes in the vasculature than
in the cell
- fluid shifts into the cell to dilute the electrolytes (CELL SWELLS)
- 0.45NS
hypertonic fluid - ANSWER✔✔-- higher concentration of solutes in the vasculature than
in the cell
- pulls fluid out of cells and into the vessels (CELL SHRINKS)
