1500ml or 62.5mL an hour
What is 24 hour output that would concern the nurse?
720mL or 30mL an hour
What is the definition of oliguria in mls/24hrs?

fluid moves passively from an area with more fluid to one with less fluid or from
an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration:
osmosis
solutes move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower
concentration until areas are equally concentrated:
Diffusion (Passive transport)
ATP moves solutes from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher
concentration (opposite of diffusion):
active transport
carrier binds a substance and carries it into the cell, What is an example of this?
Facilitated diffusion, insulin facilitates glucose to enter the cell
