(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the administration of 5% dextrose in water or 0.9% NaCl in water would help the patient and the reason for this.

Introduction: The number of particles in a solution is termed as osmolarity. Tonicity is used to define a solution and how the solution would affect cell volume if the cell were placed in the solution and allowed to reach equilibrium.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The volume of administered solution to return blood volume to normal.

Introduction: The total body fluid is divided into two compartments: intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid.

Assume the following pressures on the arterial end of a capillary: Plasma hydrostatic pressure = 35mmHg Plasma osmotic pressure = 26mmHg Interstitial hydrostatic pressure = 0mmHg Interstitial osmotic pressure = 1mmHg Given the pressures listed above, what is happening to fluid in this scenario?   A. Fluid is leaving the capillary B. Fluid is entering the capillary C. Fluid is leaving the cell D. Fluid is entering the cell
How does the volume of blood plasma in your body compare to the volume of fluid in a 2-liter bottle of Coke?
Blood pressure at the arterial end of capillaries is about 40 mm Hg in humans. If blood pressure at the venous end is about 15 mm Hg, and colloid osmotic pressure is 25 mm Hg throughout, what is the net effect on fluid movement between capillaries and tissue spaces?
