elsevier Fluid and electrolyte/exam 3 review questions with
complete Solutions
A patient has lost vascular volume. Would the patient's skin be
hot and dry, or cold and clammy? Correct Answers cold and
clammy
A patient with severe burns loses fluid from the vascular area to
the interstitial space. How does the body attempt to improve
blood volume? Correct Answers Renal blood flow decreases,
renin-angiotension-aldosterone (RAA) increases, urine output
decreases.
ADH (antidiuretic hormone) may stimulate Correct Answers
prostaglandin synthesis or release
An increase in osmolarity indicates: Correct Answers The more
electrolytes (solutes) in solution, the higher the osmolarity.
average amount of fluid in the human body Correct Answers
40 liters (40,000ml)
baroreceptors in the aortic arch and carotid arteries send
messages to the Correct Answers brain in response to changes
in blood pressure and blood volume.
body fluids are located in two main compartments Correct
Answers intracellular and extracellular
concentration of plasma proteins is greater in: Correct Answers
the vascular bed
, Decreased blood volume stimulates the kidney to release renin,
what does renin do: Correct Answers Renin stimulates the
angiotensin mechanism which results in aldosterone release.
ECF percentage of body weight Correct Answers 20%
Events that will occur when thirst exists Correct Answers -
ADH secreted
-renin-angiotensin-aldosterone activated
-water and sodium retained
-urine output decreases
extracellular fluids include Correct Answers intravascular and
interstitial fluids
Factors which reduce renal blood flow and thereby cause
prostaglandin release include: Correct Answers --
Vasoconstriction of the renal vessels (capillaries)
--Decrease in total blood volume
--Decrease in blood flow to the kidney because of heart failure
for the adult most fluids approx 60% are in the Correct Answers
intracellular compartment
functional unit of they kidney Correct Answers nephron
Glucose attracts water. It is an osmotic diuretic. So, if the blood
sugar is high and the kidney filters out some of the excess sugar,
