Q

28) A very busy nurse working at the end of his third 12 hour shift in a row made two bad mistakes with the same patient. First, he forgot to double-check the label on I.V. solution he was hanging to make sure it matched the order for the patient. Then he forgot tocheck the setting on the I.V. pump. The patient received a liter of hypertonic fluid in less than 15 minutes instead of receiving the same volume of the ordered isotonic fluid in 2 hours. How will the patient’s body attempt to compensate for the nurse’s mistakes?

A

the patient will secrete more ANP so that more sodium and water can be secreted and into the urine

Q

29) Why does the osmolarity of tubular fluid decrease as it passes through the ascending loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct?

A

the LOH and bTC reabsorb solutues and dilute the fluid entering the collecting ducts
