Cell Solutions and Emergency Care Quiz

What is the definition of an isotonic solution?

• The concentration of solutes outside the cell is greater than that inside the cell.

• The concentration of solutes outside the cell is less than that inside the cell.

• The concentration of solutes in the solution outside the cell is the same as that in the cell.

• Water moves into the cell and it swells.

In a hypotonic solution, what happens to the cell?

• There is no net movement of water.

• Water moves out of the cell and it shrinks.

• The concentration of solutes outside the cell is greater than that inside the cell.

• Water moves into the cell and it swells.

What occurs in a hypertonic solution?

• Water moves into the cell and it swells.

• The concentration of solutes outside the cell is less than that inside the cell.

• The concentration of solutes in the solution outside the cell is the same as that in the cell.

• Water moves out of the cell and it shrinks.

What is the first step in a secondary assessment?

• A severe, life-threatening allergic reaction

• The concentration of solutes in the solution outside the cell

How is skin turgor measured?

• By performing a rapid physical assessment

• By pinching the back of the hand

• By taking the patient’s vitals

• By checking the pupillary response

What does skin turgor indicate?
