NU 327 Exam 2 Questions with
Detailed Verified Answers


Question: Intracellular


Ans: fluid inside the cell


Question: Extracellular


Ans: fluid outside the cell


Question: Interstitial


Ans: fluid surrounding cells outside of the vascular space


Question: Third space


Ans: collection or localization of fluid which is neither intra nor extra (like
interstital but it's more fluid) ex: amniotic fluid


Question: Hydrostatic pressure


Ans: the pressure created by water; creates a pushing motion of fluid;
anything that increases the amount of water in a container increases the
flow of water out of the container increased by adding water to the
vascular space via IV for example

Question: Colloidal or oncotic pressure


Ans: caused by protein; it pulls in fluid; it pulls in fluid kind of like a sponge


Question: capillary permeability


Ans: where water is pushed in and out of the cell; any injury results in an
increased rate and will allow to much fluid in


Question: Diffusion


Ans: moving of particles


Question: Osmosis


Ans: movement of fluid from high to low pressure


Question: no fluid shift


Ans: impact of isotonic fluid on fluid shifts


Question: no alteration of size


Ans: impact of isotonic fluid on cell size


Question: fluid stays in the vessels


Ans: Where does isotonic fluid have the propensity to go/stay?

Question: examples of isotonic fluids


Ans: 0.9% NS and ringers lactate


Question: pushes fluid out of the vascular space into the intterstital tissue


Ans: impact of hypotonic fluid on fluid shifts


Question: into the cell


Ans: Where does hypotonic fluid have the propensity to go/stay?


Question: examples of hypotonic fluids


Ans: 0.45% NS; 0.225% NS; D5W; free water; D5 0.9% NS; D5 0.45% NS


Question: isotonic


Ans: same tonicity of blood


Question: hypotonic


Ans: fewer particles of saline than in human


Question: hypertonic


Ans: more saline than the bloodstream
