NURS 1060 FINAL ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
What is normal physiology?
Maintenance of homeostasis (stable internal environment of the body)
Water, content, and adults constitutes ________% of bodyweight
50-60%
More fat content, ________ amount of water
Less
Leaner muscle mass, ________ percentage of water
Higher
Where is intracellular fluid (ICF) located?
Within the cells
Where is extracellular fluid (ECF) located?
Outside of the cells, interstitial, intravascular, transcellular
What are electrolytes?
Substances whose molecules dissociate into ions (electrically charged particles - cation
and anion combine within the body fluids to maintain electroneutrality)
Examples of passive transport
Diffusion and osmosis
What is diffusion?
The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to one of low
concentration
, What is an example of diffusion?
Glucose transport into the cell
What is osmosis?
Movement of water against concentration gradient (water moves from less concentrated
side to more concentrated side)
What is active transport?
Process in which molecules move against concentration gradient from an area of low
concentration to an area of high concentration
What is an example of active transport?
Sodium-potassium pump. ATP is used to move sodium out of the cell and potassium
into the cell.
Plasma to interstitial fluid shift results in what?
Edema
Interstitial fluid to plasma does what
Decreases edema
Is first spacing, normal or abnormal?
Normal. Normal distribution of fluid in the ICF and ECF compartments.
2nd spacing
Abnormal. Accumulation of interstitial fluid (edema)
3rd spacing
Abnormal. Fluid is trapped and unavailable for functional use
Example of 3rd spacing
Ascites: accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity
