Chapter 03: Fluid, Electrolytes, Acid-Base Balance, and Intravenous Therapy

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. The nurse uses a diagram to demonstrate how in dehydration the water is drawn into the plasma from the cells by the process of:

a.	distillation.
b.	diffusion.
c.	filtration.
d.	osmosis.

ANS: D

The process of osmosis accomplishes the movement of water from the cells into the plasma, causing dehydration.

MSC:NCLEX: Physiological Integrity: Physiological Adaptation

2. The nurse assessing a patient with vomiting and diarrhea observes that the urine is scant and concentrated. The nurse explains that the compensatory reabsorption of water is controlled by:

a.	osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus.
b.	antidiuretic hormone in the posterior pituitary.
c.	baroreceptors in the carotid sinus.
d.	insulin from the pancreas.

ANS: B

The antidiuretic hormone controls how much water leaves the body by reabsorbing water in the renal tubules.

3. The nurse uses a picture to show how ions equalize their concentration by the passive transport process of:

a.	osmosis.
b.	filtration.
c.	titration.
d.	diffusion.

ANS: D

Diffusion is the process by which substances move back and forth across compartment membranes until they are equally divided.

DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: 32 OBJ: 3 (theory)

4. The nurse explains that the active transport process that is able to move sodium and potassium into or out of cells is:

a.	filtration.
b.	sodium pump.
c.	diffusion.
d.	osmosis.

ANS: B

The sodium pump is the mechanism by which sodium and potassium are moved into or out of cells regardless of the concentration.

5. The patient taking furosemide (Lasix) to correct excess edema shows a weight loss of 5.5 pounds in 24 hours. The nurse calculates this weight loss to be the excretion of approximately _____ liters of fluid.

a.	1.0
b.	1.5
c.	2.0
d.	2.5

ANS: D

Each kilogram (2.2 pounds) of weight loss is equivalent to 1 liter of fluid. Therefore, 5.5 pounds ÷ 2.2 pounds = 2.5 liters.
