Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Motivational interviewing has five specific techniques: 1) expressing empathy, 2) developing discrepancy, 3) avoiding argument, 4) rolling with resistance, and 5) supporting self-efficacy. Contracting for goal achievement is not a technique of motivational interviewing.

Hypertonic solutions cause fluid to move out of the cells, resulting in shrinkage of the cells. Hypertonic solutions include Dextrose 5 and 0.9 Normal Saline and Dextrose 10 and water. Ringer's lactate is an isotonic solution. The solutions of 0.45 Normal Saline and Dextrose 5 and water are hypotonic. Dextran 5 in water is a plasma extender.
