Ans: 1. Vascular System
2. Capillary Membrane
3. Interstitial Area
4. Cell Membrane
Osmolality Imbalance
Ans: the blood is too concentrated/dilute
Labs to Measure Osmolality
Ans: Osmolality Specific- most accurate!!
Urine Specific Gravity-
Hgb & Hct- the higher the Hct, the higher the osmolality
Sodium levels- water follows salt!! If sodium is elevated, then osmolality is elevated
Types of IV Fluids
Ans:
Hypertonic Solution
