For the patient with head injury and increased Intracranial Pressure (ICP), an osmotic diuretic, such as mannitol, is very helpful. An osmotic diuretic works by creating an osmotic gradient in the blood by the presence of the additional osmolyte (mannitol). In other words, the osmolyte stays in the bloodstream and creates a greater osmotic force to pull water out of tissues and third spaces (interstitium of cerebrum). This aids in alleviating the addition ICP by fluid removal.
The extra fluid that was "sucked" into the bloodstream via osmosis, can then travel to the kidneys and be filtered out into the urine (diuresis). This explains its two purposes as an "osmotic" and a "diuretic."

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

"It isn't unusual for a family to suffer from antecipatory grief when a loved one is dying."

Explanation:

Many people have a hard time dealing with the death of a loved one. This difficulty is even greater when someone is from our family, and we really want to have him around. For this reason, many people suffer early mourning before their loved one dies, this mourning can be manifested in many ways, such as extreme sadness or simply ignoring the situation and acting as if nothing has happened. In the case of the woman exposed in the question, she is clearly suffering from the imminent death of her husband, at this point it is important that the staff of nurses provide therapeutic care with this woman. A therapeutic statement that the nurse can talk to this woman is "It is not unusual for a family to suffer from anticipatory grief when a loved one is dying."
