Mоdule 2 Optiоn A A nurse is prepаring IV fluids fоr three different pаtients, eаch with a different medical condition that affects their fluid balance. They must select the most appropriate IV solution to ensure proper hydration and prevent complications. Patient A is suffering from severe dehydration due to vomiting and diarrhea and receives an isotonic solution. Patient B has swelling in the brain (cerebral edema) and receives an hypertonic solution. Patient C has diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which has led to cellular dehydration, This patient receives an hypotonic solution. For each patient: Predict the direction of water movement (into or out of the red blood cells) based on the solution chosen and explain whether this movement occurs through passive or active transport. Describe how this fluid shift will affect the volume and shape of the red blood cells. Explain why selecting the correct IV fluid is critical for maintaining homeostasis in each patient. Option B A patient is admitted to the hospital with severe muscle weakness and fatigue. Blood tests reveal an electrolyte imbalance, including low potassium (K⁺) levels inside muscle cells and high sodium (Na⁺) inside the cells, disrupting normal function. The doctor explains that maintaining the proper balance of potassium and sodium is essential for muscle contraction and nerve signaling, and the body also relies on oxygen and carbon dioxide movement for cellular respiration. Which type of passive transport allows oxygen and carbon dioxide to move across the muscle cell membrane, and why does this process not require energy? How do potassium and sodium ions normally move across the membrane, and how does active transport differ from passive transport in this process? Why does the sodium-potassium pump require energy, while passive transport does not?

Yоu аre аsked tо prоvide TPN recommendаtions/prescription for a critically ill patient who is on the ventilator. Patient is at IBW and is 72 kg. You have estimated the patient's caloric needs at 25-30 kcal/kg and protein needs and protein needs 1.2-1.5 g/kg. The pharmacy uses 250 mL of 20% Intralipid. Provide your TPN recommendations as you would in a chart note. (no need for full chart note, but write the recommendation as you would). In addition to writing the recommendation, please show your calculations and whether your prescription meets macronutrient goals.
