Fluid Therapy

The most commonly used type of fluid is

• crystalloid
• colloid
• plasma
• vetstarch

The major osmotically active particle is

• chloride
• potassium
• magnesium
• sodium

Crystalloids are classified as

• isotonic
• hypotonic
• hypertonic
• all of the above

Maintenance fluids have ___________ sodium than plasma

• more
• less
• equal
• no

Hypotonic fluids

• are maintained in the vasculature
• move out to the cells
• stay equally in the vascualture and cells
• go the third spaces

_______________ is an example of a hypotonic solution

• 0.9% NaCl
• norm-R
• plasmalyte 56
• all of the above

Isotonic solutions stay in the vasculature for about

• 2 hours
• 20-30 minutes
• 1 hour
• 24 hours

Isotonic solutions are good for

• dehydration
• rescusistation
• repalcement
• all of the above

Hypertonic solution example is

• Norm-m
• 7% NaCl
• 0.45%NaCl
• LSR

Hypertonic solutions are not good for

• dehydrated patients
• hypotensive patients
• hemoorhaging patients
• head trauma
