Concept explainers
To discuss:
The distinction between hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic solutions and their effect on cells and how this relates to intravenous fluid therapy.
Introduction:
Cells are regarded as the simplest unit (structural and functional) of life. Cellular membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm are the three major components of a cell. Cellular membrane, which surrounds the entire cell, is composed of phospholipids and proteins. The nucleus is bound by a nuclear membrane, and it possesses the genetic material of the cell. Cytoplasm consists of organelles, cytoskeleton (filaments and tubules), and inclusion bodies. Protoplasm denotes all living material that are present in the cell enclosed by the cellular membrane (inside and outside the nucleus).

- A British MI-6 secret agent presents to the emergency department after being poisoned while out on a mission. Laboratory tests reveal a serious cardiac arrhythmia and high blood levels of a cardiac glycoside agent. The attending physician orders the immediate administration of a drug that can chemically antagonize the toxic agent. Which of the following drugs is most likely being administered to this patient for this purpose? O Atropine immune Fab O Sodium nitroprusside O Verapamil anti-immune O Pralidoxime O Digoxin immune Fabarrow_forwardDefine importance of regular intravenous solutions, isotonic normal saline, and lactate Ringer's solution administered in medicine.arrow_forwardNonapeptides : Oxytoxin and vasopressinarrow_forward
- Each functional stucture in the body contributes its share to the maintenance of more or less stable extracellular fluid which is called .arrow_forwardwhich plasma membrance component can either found on its surface or embeddded in the membrance structurearrow_forwardDrug Clearance For example, if the ClT of penicillin is 15mL/min in a patient and penicillin has a VD of 12 L, then from the clearance definition, 15 mL of the 12 L would be cleared of drug per minute. Formula: ClT = Elimination Rate (microgram/min) Plasma concentration (microgram/mL)arrow_forward
- Which of the following best describes blood plasma? Group of answer choices found inbetween the cells, not in them, so called intracellular found in vessels, not cells, so it is a type of extracellular fluid found between vessels, not in them, so thought of as extracellular found within the cells, not outside, so normally called interstitial The sodium-potassium pump balances intracellular and extracellular ions by: Group of answer choices the use of ionic pressure active transport of ions creating osmotic pressure employing hydrostatic pressure What force drives fluid into lymphatic capillaries? Group of answer choices colloidal osmotic pressure hydrostatic pressure active transport of fluids diffusion of waterarrow_forwardGive typed explanation of all three otherwise leave it A patient is on a sodium bicarbonate 50 mEq in 1000ml dextrose 5% in water infusion. The infusion is running at 100ml/hr and has last been hung at 0800 this morning. Sodium bicarbonate is available as 50mEq/50ml syringes. How many ml of sodium bicarbonate needs to be added to the 1000ml of dextrose 5% in water? How many hours will one bag last? Assume no loss of drug in the linearrow_forwardTopic Hematology Which of the tubules is impermeable to water?arrow_forward
- Isotonic fluids should be used cautiously in clients with Hypertension and/or CCF. Please explain why this is soarrow_forwardYou have been ordered to give phenytoin (Dilantin) IV to your seizure patient. Your patient weighs 80 kg. The dose ordered is 15 mg/kg to be diluted in 250 mL bag of saline to be given at 25 mg/min. How long will the infusion take to complete?arrow_forwardA patient is to receive: Heparin 800.0 units per hour. 20,000.0 units of heparin have been added to 500.0 mL Normal Saline. The fluid is to run via an infusion pump. How many mL/hr should the pump be programmed for in order to deliver the required hourly dose?arrow_forward
