Again, please give the choices but if a patient with an NGT drinks a fluid (such as water) it will NOT cause Sodium retention, but depletion. The water will pull the electrolytes from the stomach and the NGT would suck the fluid and electrolytes.

Basically,
-Cause sodium depletion instead of retention 
-electrolyte loss

adoni [48]

Answer:

Although net filtration occurs at the ARTERIAL end of a capillary and net reabsorption at its VENOUS end, not all of the fluid is reabsorbed.

Explanation:

Net filtration is majorly observed in proximity to the arterial end of the capillary due to the fact that capillary hydrostatic pressure (CHP) is much more than blood colloidal osmotic pressure (BCOP). There happens to be no net movement of fluid to be seen in proximity to the midpoint due to the fact that CHP = BCOP. Net reabsorption is seen to be found at proximity to the venous end as a result of BCOP to be much more than CHP.
