Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 9

Question
Hypervolemia refers to excess blood volume
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 10

Question
The two factors that determine urine volume are
Answer
  • the amount of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and aldosterone secretion
  • the amount of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and ADH secretion
  • fluid intake and ADH secretion
  • the glomerular filtration rate and the rate of water reabsorption by the renal tubules

Answer
  • water vapor in expired air
  • water diffusion through the skin
  • both water vapor in expired air and water diffusion through the skin
  • none of the above

Question 12

Question

Answer
  • tends to force fluid out of capillaries and into interstitial fluid
  • tends to force fluid out of interstitial fluid and into capillaries
  • allows for an equilibrium across the capillary membrane
  • none of the above

Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 14

Question
Which of the following is not a correct statement regarding severe dehydration?
Answer
  • Loss of skin turgor is a symptom of severe dehydration
  • the relative loss of water in sweat is greater than the loss of electrolytes
  • Sweating serves the body by increasing body heat
