Answer to Question 1

The hematocrit is a percentage of the blood that is composed of red cells. As the fluid portion of the blood decreases without a concomitant reduction in red cells, the percentage of blood represented by red cells will increase. Hemoconcentration refers to a reduction in fluid without a reduction in red cells. Bleeding causes a concomitant reduction in all components of blood (fluid and cellular) but third spacing causes only the fluid to leave the intravascular space, leaving behind relatively more red cells.

Answer to Question 2

a) Office or other outpatient service; established patient; level 2
