A not very well-studied A&P student heard about a phenomenon called water intoxication and thought it sounded fun so she dec

ided to try it. She consumed a large amount of water in a short time (Don't try this—water intoxication is often fatal.). Instead of feeling drunk, she felt nauseated, developed a severe headache, began to get confused, and then became unconscious. Her much more prepared A&P student roommate quickly realized the problem and called an ambulance. When the roommate told the Emergency Department doctor what had happened, the doctor quickly began administering IV (intravenous) fluids.Based on this information and your understanding of osmosis and tonicity, what type of IV fluid is the doctor likely administering to try to save the life of the student suffering from water intoxication?a. hypotonic IV fluidb. hypertonic IV fluidc. isotonic IV fluid

Answer:

The correct answer would be - hypertonic IV fluid.

Explanation:

The blood of the patient is hypotonic in this condition that causes water to move to the cells from blood that possibly causing swelling in brain cells as well which is causing nausea, headache, and unconsciousness.

Tonicity of blood needs to be raise where hypertonic IV fluids will help in increasing the tonicity will help in drawing excess water back out of cells.

Thus, the correct answer is - hypertonic IV fluid .

5. Why is it important to know the terms related to the cardiovascular, blood and lymphatic, respiratory system, urinary systems
sammy [17]
1. If you work as a health professional or related to administrative branch of the medical field, understanding such terms are of upmost importance as you will encounter such terms in everyday work. If you work in the administrative side such as a cashier or a bill coder, then understanding these terms will help in the preparation of medical bills or documents for the patient as each organ system or disease have specific codes (ICD or CPT); and if the patient asks you questions about those terms, then you can easily answer it. 

2. Understanding word parts will help you identify medical terms (i.e. cardio/logy - cardio- means heart and logos means the study of, or sarcoma - sarco- means fleshy and -oma means new growth). Having this knowledge is helpful in deducing terms that you don't have full knowledge of. This is important if you work in medical documentation or in medical records.
