NR 226 Fluid, Electrolyte Questions
with complete solution 2025/2026
what has a potential to threaten balance of fluid, electrcolytes and acid-base? - correct answer
✔excessive temp
vigorous exercise
chronic diseases
acute conditions
medications
treatments
extremes of age
inability to access food and fluids
functions of water in the body - correct answer ✔transportation of nutrients, electrolytes and oxygen
to the cells
excretion of waste products
regulation of body temperature
lubricator, insulator, and shock absorber of joints and membranes
medium for food digestion
intracellular fluid (ICF) - correct answer ✔fluid within cells (70%)
vital for normal cell function
contains oxygen, electrolytes and glucose
extracellular fluid (ECF) - correct answer ✔fluid outside the cells (30%)
,includes intravascular, interstitial and transcellular
intrastitial fluid - correct answer ✔surround cell
intravascular - correct answer ✔plasma within vascular system
transcellular - correct answer ✔CSF
pericardial
pancreatic
pleural
intraocular
biliary
peritoneal
synovial fluid
two compartments of fluid in the body - correct answer ✔intracellular
extracellular
distribution of fluid between two compartments must stay relatively constant to maintain proper fluid
balance
diffusion - correct answer ✔tendency of solutes to move freely throughout a solvent, until their
concentrations are equal throughout
solutes from [high] to [low]
, osmosis - correct answer ✔water passes from area of lesser solute concentration to greater
concentration until equilibrium is established across a semi-permeable membrane
fluid gets pulled from [low] to [high]
[high] areas have more pulling power
osmolarity - correct answer ✔the pulling power or concentration of a solution
concentration of particles per liter of solution (not necessarily water)
active transport - correct answer ✔particles "swimming upstream" - goes against concentration
gradient
energy is required to push to get across membrane
example of active transport - correct answer ✔sodium-potassium pump
filtration - correct answer ✔solutes can only pass through capillary walls (with pressure)
hydrostatic pressure
two kinds of pressure - correct answer ✔hydrostatic
plasma colloid osmotic
plasma colloid osmotic - correct answer ✔pulling force
