compartments is determined by:
An experiment was designed to test the effects of the Increased interstitial oncotic pressure
Starling forces on fluid movement. Which of the
following alterations would result in fluid moving into
the interstitial space?
When planning care for a dehydrated patient, the nurse Sodium
remembers the principle of water balance is closely
related to _____ balance.
A 70-year-old male with chronic renal failure presents Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure
with edema. Which of the following is the most likely
cause of this condition?
A 10-year-old male is brought to the emergency room localized edema
(ER) because he is incoherent and semiconscious. CT
scan reveals that he is suffering from cerebral edema.
This type of edema is referred to as:

successful concerning aldosterone? Secretion of
aldosterone results in:

secreting tumor of the adrenal cortex. Which finding
would the nurse expect to see in the lab results?
A patient has been searching on the Internet about Sodium
natriuretic hormones. When the patient asks the nurse
what do these hormones do, how should the nurse
respond? Natriuretic hormones affect the balance of:
, A 5-year-old male presents to the ER with delirium and Intracellular dehydration
sunken eyes. After diagnosing him with severe
dehydration, the primary care provider orders fluid
replacement. The nurse administers a hypertonic
intravenous solution. Which of the following would be
expected?

lethargy, confusion, and depressed reflexes. His wife
indicates that he does not follow the prescribed diet
and takes his medication sporadically. Lab results
indicate hyperglycemia. Which assessment finding is
most likely to occur?

principle is priority? Hyperkalemia causes a(n) _____ in
resting membrane potential with _____ excitability of
cardiac muscle.
Which of the following patients is most prone to Increased bicarbonate intake
hypochloremia? A patient with:

abnormalities. Laboratory tests indicate that she is
hypokalemic. Which of the following could be the
cause of her condition?
A 19-year-old male presents to his primary care acidosis
