Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Increased capillary permeability occurs, leading fluid to shift to interstitial spaces. Blood is shunted from the kidneys, so decreased urination occurs. Increased levels of stress hormones are secreted. Hypovolemia, not fluid overload, occurs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Hypovolemia occurs due to increased capillary permeability. Decreased cardiac contractility oc-curs, but this is not the direct cause of hypovolemia. Blood is shunted from the kidneys, so water loss does not occur. Bacterial infection is a risk, but it is not the cause of hypovolemia.
