YOUR GRADES.
Which of the following are major ions in ECF (extracellular fluids)?
Select all that apply.
1. Sodium
2. Potassium
3. Glucose
4. Chlorine
5. Carbonate - correct answer -1. Sodium
4. Chlorine
5. Carbonate
The nurse is reviewing the diagnostic laboratory results for a
client. The body needs all electrolytes and more for normal
functioning of nerves and muscles, developing body cells, blood
clotting, and coordinating all body activities. Based on this
information, the nurse notices that the client's potassium is low.
What food sources should the nurse encourage the client to eat to
help raise the potassium level? - correct answer -Dry fruits, nuts,
and many vegetables

Total electrolyte concentration affects the body's fluid balance.
Nutrients and oxygen must enter body cells, whereas waste
products exit the body. Based on this information, the student
nurse has to prepare a chart for a clinical postconference on the
ways that movement occurs across the cellular membrane. What
are ways that the student nurse should include in the chart on
movement across the cellular membrane?
1. Molecules move through the cell membrane, including oxygen,
carbon dioxide, and steroids.
2. Substances pass through membrane channels and these
channels are the same size.
3. Carrier molecules in the membrane assist substances across
the barrier.
4. A vesicle transports small molecules or whole cells across the
plasma membrane. <wbr /> - correct answer -1. Molecules move
through the cell membrane, including oxygen, carbon dioxide, and
steroids.
3. Carrier molecules in the membrane assist substances across
the barrier.
Arterial blood gases indicate how well the body's acid base
balance is functioning. A client is admitted to the medical unit. The
arterial blood gases are ordered and indicate respiratory acidosis.
Which arterial blood gas results indicate metabolic alkalosis? -
correct answer -Increase pH; increase bicarbonate

There are different methods of transportation of fluids and other
molecules through the body. Based on this information, what
would be the most accurate description for the nurse to share
about filtration? - correct answer -Transport of water and
dissolved materials through a membrane from an area of higher
pressure to lower pressure
Fluids make up a large portion of the body. Body fluids are
composed of water and electrolytes. Body fluids are divided
between two main compartments. The student nurse is making a
chart comparing key information about the intracellular and
extracellular fluid compartment. Based on this information, which
information should be included in the intracellular fluid column on
the chart?
1. Fluid inside the cell
2. Constitutes about one-half to two-thirds of the total body fluid in
an adult
3. The major ions in intracellular fluid are potassium, magnesium,
and phosphate.
4. Appears mostly as interstitial fluid and intravascular fluid
5. The volume of intracellular fluid is the most important regulated
aspect of body fluid balance. - correct answer -1. Fluid inside the
cell
2. Constitutes about one-half to two-thirds of the total body fluid in
an adult
