Answer:

The appropriate action would be to monitor the blood pressure of the client.  

Explanation:

Fludrocortisone refers to a kind of drug known as an oral mineralocorticoid. The drug is prescribed for treating a condition known as Addison's disease, in which the adrenal glands do not produce sufficient kind of hormones. The drug assists in substituting those hormones. It is also used in the treatment of a condition known as salt-losing adrenogenital syndrome, that is, a kind of hormonal imbalance. However, one of the potential side effects of the drug is that it can elevate blood pressure in the individuals taking the drug. Thus, there is a need to monitor the blood pressure of the patient in the given case, in order to reduce the threat of the potential side effect of the medicine.

Cells in a hypertonic solution tend to:
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Shrink due to water loss

Explanation:

A hypertonic solution has more osmolarity than the cell. This causes the water inside the cell to go out since the osmolarities tend to equalize. And the cell does not allow the passage of other substances except water. Therefore the water will come out and the cell will shrink.  

In a hypotonic solution, the water will enter into the cell and in an isotonic solution the water will be moving into and out of the cell at the same rate.
