A client is prescribed a hypertonic intravenous solution. Administration of this solution will most likely cause which manifestation to occur?
1. A shift of fluid from the vascular space to the interstitial space.
2. No fluid shift
3. The plasma to have more solutes than the interstitial fluid.
4. The plasma to have fewer solutes than the interstitial fluid
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Water will move, by osmosis, from the interstitial fluid compartment to the plasma compartment.
Rationale 2: Water will move, by osmosis, from the interstitial fluid compartment to the plasma compartment.
Rationale 3: If a hypertonic solution is administered, the plasma gains more solutes than does the interstitial fluid.
Rationale 4: If a hypertonic solution is administered, the plasma gains more solutes than does the interstitial fluid.
