ABGs - Answer (Arterial blood Gas) Measures oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood Know priority monitorization for patients receiving fluids infusion. - Answer Check vital signs, daily weight, check for edema, fluid balance charts, check electrolytes, urea and creatine (kidney function) Osmosis - Answer Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane (Low concentration of solute to high concentration of solute) Fluid and Solute are equally balanced Facilitated Diffusion - Answer Diffusion of bigger molecules across a membrane through transport proteins Diffusion - Answer The movement of particles from an area with high concentration to an area of lower concentration Ex. Oxygen or Carbon Dioxide Active transport - 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 - 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) - Answer Pulls water into the capillaries. The pressure created by the osmotic effects of the solutes Hydrostatic Pressure - 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)
