CORRECT ANSWERS LATEST UPDTAE 2026/2027 | GRADED
A+ | GUARANTEED PASS.
1. minimum urine output for adult ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER 0.5mL/kg/hr
2. ADH (antidiuretic hormone) ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - water retainer
- vasoconstrictor (also called Vasopressin)
- produced by hypothalamus
- store and released from posterior pituitary
3. ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - cardiac hormone stored in atria
- released when atrial pressure increases
*works opposite of RAAS by decreasing BP and reducing intravascular volume
- important diagnostic marker in CHF
5. hydrostatic pressure ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - forces fluids and solutes through the capillary wall and into the
tissue spaces
6. colloid osmotic pressure ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - pulling force of albumin in the intravascular spaces
- pull fluid into vasculature
7. maintenance fluid therapy ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - replaces normal ongoing losses of water and electrolytes
(urine, sweat, respiration, stool)
8. replacement therapy ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - corrects any existing water and or electrolyte deficits
9. isotonic fluids ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - tonicity equal to plasma in the body
- no fluid shifts because the solutions are equally concentrated
- LR
- NS
, - D5W
10. hypotonic fluids ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - lower concentration of solutes in the vasculature than in the cell
- fluid shifts into the cell to dilute the electrolytes (CELL SWELLS)
- 0.45NS
11. hypertonic fluid ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - higher concentration of solutes in the vasculature than in the cell
- pulls fluid out of cells and into the vessels (CELL SHRINKS)
- D5 .45NS
- D5NS
- D5LR
- 3%, 7%, 23.4% NaCl
12. colloids ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - pull fluid into bloodstream
Albumin
- 5% is osmotically equal to plasma
- 25% draws 4 times the normal volume into the circulation
ADH pathway ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - hypothalamus senses low blood volumed and increased serum osmolality
- signal pituitary to
release ADH
- ADH causes kidney
to retain water
- water retention
increases blood volume and
decreases serum osmolality
13. blood ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - not a risk free fluid replacement
, - this is liquid transplant
14. third spacing ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - fluid is not lost from the body but the fluid is not available for use in the
intracellular or extracellular compartments
(fluid is in between tissues/cells)
- this patient is intravascularly dry and still needs more fluid
-
15. can you give platelets through the ranger ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - no it will aggreggate the platelets
16. hyponatremia ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - less than 135 -145
- weakness
- abdominal cramping/leg cramps
- dizzy
- change in LOC
- seizures
17. different ways to treat hyponatremia ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER - hypovolemic (give IV fluid)
- euvolemic (fluid restriction)
