Hypotonic solutions Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Fluid regulation mechanisms - Answer--The thirst center. The thirst center in the hypothalamus stimulates or inhibits the desire for a person to drink. -Antidiuretic hormone. ADH regulates the amount of water the kidney tubules absorb and is released in response to low blood volume or in response to an increase in the concentration of sodium and other solutes in the intravascular fluids. -The RAAS. The RAA system controls fluid volume, in which when the blood volume decreases, blood flow t...

isotonic fluids Correct Answer-normal saline and D5W have a concentration of dissolved particles equal to that of the ICF. Osmotic pressure is the same inside and outside the cells, so they neither shrink nor swell with fluid movement. hypertonic solutions Correct Answer-3% saline, D5 in normal saline, D5 in half normal saline, and D10 in normal saline Has a tonicity greater than that of the ICF, so osmotic pressure is unequal inside and outside of the cell. Dehydration or rapid infusion of...

Fluids that move from areas of lower concentration of solutes to area of higher concentration is called? correct answer: Osmosis Hypotonic solutions: correct answer: Fluids are LESS CONCENTRATED, more electrolytes are in the cell than in the vascular space so this causes water to be drawn into the cell in an attempt to make fluids in vascular space LESS diluted and move towards its normal concentration. Ex: 0.33%NS, 0.45%NS Hypertonic solutions: correct answer: Fluids are MORE CONCEN...

RNSG 1533 Exam 1What are complications of IVFs? - correct answer Isotonic Solution: CAUTION- Can cause FVE and hyperchloremic acidosis if used in excess volumes. Hypotonic Solution: CAUTION- Can cause cardiovascular collapse & increase intracranial pressure (cells blow up-hemolysis). Hypertonic Solution: CAUTION- Give SLOWLY, it can cause FVE & pulmonary edema. Cells will begin to shrink and die. General IV complications and their treatments/preventive measures: - Fluid overload: Diste...
