Complete Answers.
H & H - Answer -hematocrit: 38-50%
-hemoglobin: 12-18
-will change together if one goes up so does the other one
*by giving one unit of PRBC's hemoglobin level will go up by one
Isotonic Solution - Answer same solute as blood (NS and LR)
-used to replace fluid in a dehydrated person
Hypotonic Solution - Answer -lower solute than the blood
-water flows into the blood cells
-1/2 NS
Hypertonic Solution - Answer -higher solute than in the blood
-water flows out of the blood cells
-D5W
Aldosterone - Answer -conserves sodium and therefore water
-can help control blood pressure by holding onto fluids or getting rid of them
ADH - Answer -antidiuretic hormone
