NSG 170 JTCC Lilley Ch 29 Fluids and Electrolytes
Questions With Complete Solutions
acid Correct Answer a substance that can donate or release
hydrogen ions, such as carbonic acid or hydrochloric acid.
Acid-base balance is regulated by: Correct Answer the
respiratory system and the kidneys.
acidosis Correct Answer When hydrogen ion concentration
increases, the pH decreases and leads to acidity. Acidosis occurs
when pH falls below 7.35
alkalosis Correct Answer As the hydrogen ion concentration
decreases, the pH increases, leading to more alkalinity.
Alkalosis occurs when the pH rises above 7.45
base Correct Answer a substance that can accept hydrogen
ions, such as bicarbonate
Blood Correct Answer The fluid that circulates through the
heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins, carrying nutriment and
oxygen to the body cells.
Blood components Correct Answer plasma, its liquid
component, plus three major solid components: erythrocytes
(red blood cells or RBCs), leukocytes (white blood cells or
WBCs), and platelets.
Colloid Oncotic Pressure Correct Answer Another name for
oncotic pressure. It is a form of osmotic pressure exerted by
, protein in blood plasma that tends to pull water into the
circulatory system.
Colloid oncotic pressure _____ with age and malnutrition.
Correct Answer decreases
Colloids Correct Answer Protein substances that increase the
colloid oncotic pressure
colloids Correct Answer substances that increase the colloid
osmotic pressure and move fluid from the interstitial
compartment to the plasma compartment by pulling the fluid
into the blood vessels. Normally, this task is performed by the
three blood proteins: albumin, globulin, and fibrinogen.
Crystalloids Correct Answer substances in a solution that
diffuse through a semipermeable membrane
Describe what happens when administering isotonic, hypotonic,
and hypertonic solutions. Correct Answer Isotonic solutions
cause no net fluid movement.
Hypotonic solutions cause fluid to move out of the vein and into
tissues and cells.
Hypertonic solutions cause fluid to move from the ISF into the
veins.
Extracellular Fluid (ECF) Correct Answer that portion of
body fluid comprising the interstitial fluid and intravascular
fluid. it transports nutrients to cells as well as waste products
away from cells.
