MULTIPLE CHOICE
1.A patient has dehydration. While planning care, the nurse considers that the majority of the patient’s total water volume exists in with compartment?
a. Intracellular
b. Extracellular
c. Intravascular
d. Transcellular
ANS: A
Intracellular (inside the cells) fluid accounts for approximately two thirds of total
body water. Extracellular (out- side the cells) is approximately one third of the total
body water. Intravascular fluid (liquid portion of the blood) and transcellular fluid
are two major divisions of the extracellular compartment. Chapter 42: Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance | Nursing Test Banks4/17/17, 7:32 AM

2.The nurse is teaching about the process of passively moving water from an area of lower particle concentra- tion to an area of higher particle concentration. Which process is the nurse describing?
a. Osmosis
b.Filtration
c.Diffusion
d.Active transport
ANS: A
The process of moving water from an area of low particle concentration to an area
of higher particle concentra- tion is known as osmosis. Filtration is mediated by fluid pressure from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure. Diffusion is passive movement of electrolytes or other particles down the concentration gradi- ent (from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower Chapter 42: Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance | Nursing Test Banks4/17/17, 7:32 AM

Active transport requires energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to move electrolytes across cell membranes against the concentra- tion gradient (from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration).

heart failure. Which type of pressure facilitated the formation of the patient’s edema?
a. Osmotic
b. Oncotic
c. Hydrostatic
d. Concentration
ANS: C
Venous congestion increases capillary hydrostatic pressure. Increased hydrostatic pressure causes edema by causing increased movement of fluid into the interstitial
area. Osmotic and oncotic pressures involve the con- centrations of solutes and can contribute to edema in other situations, such as inflammation or malnutrition. Concentration pressure is not a nursing term.
