NUR1211 Med Surg 1 - Exam 1 Study
Guide Questions with 100% Correct
Answers
ABGs Correct Answer: (Arterial blood Gas)
Measures oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood
Know priority monitorization for patients receiving fluids infusion. Correct Answer:
Check vital signs, daily weight, check for edema, fluid balance charts, check
electrolytes, urea and creatine (kidney function)
Osmosis Correct 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 Correct Answer: Diffusion of bigger molecules across a
membrane through transport proteins
Diffusion Correct Answer: The movement of particles from an area with high
concentration to an area of lower concentration Ex. Oxygen or Carbon Dioxide
Active transport Correct 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 Correct 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) Correct Answer: Pulls water into the capillaries. The
pressure created by the osmotic effects of the solutes
Hydrostatic Pressure Correct 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)
Nursing Delegation Correct Answer: Appointing of assigning another person to
do a task to achieve outcomes for which you are still responsible for
Isotonic Solution Correct Answer: -0.9% Saline
-LR (Lactated Ringers)
Hypotonic Solution Correct Answer: Concentration of fluid is lower then it should
be (don't give to ICP pts, infuse slowly & not for hypovolemia = low volume of
fluids
- 0.45% Saline
-0.33 NaCl
-0.225% NaCl
-2.5 D5W (Isotonic out hypo in the body & not used for diabetic patients)
Hypertonic Soultion Correct Answer: Concentration of fluid is more then it should
be cell is going to shrink (more salt less water, thick consistency)
