2025/2026
ABG normal ranges - correct answer ✔pH: acidic 7.35 - 7.45 basic
CO2: basic 35 -45 acidic
HCO3 (bicarb): acidic 22 - 26 basic
ABG: what determines metabolic status vs what determines respiratory status - correct answer ✔HCO3
determines metabolic status and CO2 determines respiratory status
2/3 of the body's fluid resides in _____ while 1/3 of body's fluid resides in _____ - correct answer
✔2/3: intra-cellular compartment
1/3: extra-cellular compartment either interstitial or intravascular
when blood tonicity rises it triggers ____ which allows the ____ to absorb more water - correct answer
✔triggers vasopressin and allows the kidneys to absorb more water which means the urine will be more
concentrated
tonicity referring to IV fluids means - correct answer ✔how the IV fluid will affect the body relevant to
fluid movement
this tonicity means same number of particles as fluid - correct answer ✔isotonic
this tonicity means more particles than fluid - correct answer ✔hypertonic
this tonicity means more fluid than particles - correct answer ✔hypotonic
, (mineral salts) these compounds separate into ions when dissolved in water and move nutrients into cell
and water out - correct answer ✔electrolytes
positively charged ions vs negatively charged ions - correct answer ✔+: sodium, potassium, calcium,
magnesium
-: chloride and bicarb
using ATP to move electrolytes across cell from low to high concentration - correct answer ✔active
transport
passive transport from high to low concentration - correct answer ✔diffusion
water moves across semi permeable membrane - correct answer ✔osmosis
fluid in cell exerts this to pull water into cell until concentration of particles is equal to fluid - correct
answer ✔osmotic pressure
fluid moving in and out of capillaries between interstitial and intravascular compartments - correct
answer ✔filtration
outward force of fluid pressing outward against surface - correct answer ✔hydrostatic pressure
blood proteins too large to leave capillaries so they exert osmotic pressure to move fluids - correct
answer ✔colloids
fluid accumulates where resulting in edema - correct answer ✔interstitial space
