63-year-old male
75-year-old female - Answer 75-year-old female
Match the type of fluid to its description.
Fluid found within cells
Fluid in spaces between cells
Plasma in blood vessels

Which amount of weight (in pounds) does a patient gain after drinking 1000 mL of fluid? lbs. -
Answer 2.2
Which kind of transport mechanism is used for large molecules that cannot pass across cell
membranes?
Osmosis
Diffusion
Active transport
, Facilitated diffusion - Answer Facilitated diffusion
Facilitated diffusion involves the use of a carrier protein to move large molecules across cell
membranes.
Which plasma osmolality value would indicate that the patient has a water deficit?
