| What is an IV infusion of blood or blood products | transfusion |
| What is the solution or fluids that will be administered continuously | primary infusion |
| What is the smaller amount that is administered intermittently, ie. IV Piggy Back | Secondary Infusion |
| What color is the 16 gauge catheter | Grey |

| Which line is inserted by a physician and the tip rests in the Vena Cava | Central Lines |
| Which line can be inserted by a special RN, it is used for long term IV-therapy | PICC Line |
| Where should you always try the IV first | Hand |
| What color is Arterial blood | bright red |

| The respiratory system and the renal system assist in regulation of | acid/base balance |
| Fluid with a PH os 7.35 – 7.45 is | normal extracellular Fluid |
| When CO2 is lost through rapid breathing and carbonic acid is depleted we have respiratory | alkalosis |
| When the exhalation of CO2 is depressed and we hae too much carbinic acid we have respiratory | acidosis |
| When there is an equal balance between the solute and the solvent in a solution it is | Isotonic solution |
| When there is more of a solute than the solvent in a solution we have a | Hypertonic solution |
| When there is more of a solution than the solvent in a solution we have a | Hypotonic solution |
| Which electrolyte is normal at 3.5-5.3 and too little is called hypokalemia and too much is called Hyperkalemia | Potassium |
| Which electrolyte is normal at 135-145 mEq/L, too much is called Hypernatremia and too little is Hyponatremia | Sodium |

| What is the fluid outside the cells that constitutes 1/3 of the total body fluid of an adult and is also the most important fluid in fluid balance | Extracellular Fluid |
| If we hae a depletion in our ectracellular fluid our body cannot regulate what | blood pressure |
| Hypertonic fluids, ex: D20W, D50W, D51/2NS, D5NS, D10NS, 3%NS, D5LR, will shrink what | blood cells |
| Hypotonic fluids, ex: 1/2NS, pulls into the blood cells which leaves them overhydrated and they could | bust |
| How many attempts at an IV does a Student Nurse get | One |
| Isotonic solutions, ex: D5W, D51/4NS, NS, Ringer’s Solution and LR, is the same pressure so what happens | nothing or equal sharing |
| What does it mean when a cell’s membrane allows only certain specific substances to pass thru | selectively permeable |
