When a fluid on one side of a cellular membrane contains a higher solute concentration than fluid on the other side, the fluid is said to be:
a. Hypertonic
b. Isotonic
c. Hypotonic
d. Electrolytic
a
Rationale: a. Correct.
b. Isotonic implies that the fluids on either side are balanced.
c. Hypotonic implies that the fluid is less in solute concentration than fluid on the opposite side of the membrane.
d. Electrolytic does not pertain to body fluids.

An AP atlas and axis projection with poor positioning demonstrates the upper incisors about 1 inch (2.5 cm) inferior to the posterior occiput, obscuring the dens and atlantoaxial joint
How was the positioning setup mispositioned for such a projection to be obtained? 1. The patient's face was rotated toward the left side. 2. The acanthiomeatal line was perpendicular to the IR, and the central ray was perpendicular. 3. The patient's chin was tucked more than needed. 4. An imaginary line connecting the occlusal plane and posterior occiput's inferior edge was not aligned perpendicular to the imaging table. a. 1 only b. 2 only c. 2 and 3 only d. 2, 3, and 4 only
