Intravenous Fluid Therapy

The most commonly used type of fluid is

• crystalloid
• colloid
• plasma
• vetstarch

Crystalloids are classified as

• isotonic
• hypotonic
• hypertonic
• all of the above

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 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

Colloids are

• large particles
• stay in the vasculature
• help with vascular volume
• all of the above

the normal blood pH of blood is

• 7
• 8
• 7.4
• 5

______________________ is the amount of force required to keep water in a compartment

• tonicitiy
• osmotic pressure
• osmolality
• hydrostatic
