Answer to Question 1
2. It is a protein that pulls water into my blood vessels..
Rationale:
Colloids are proteins or other large molecules that stay suspended in the blood for long periods because they are too large to easily cross membranes. They draw water molecules from the cells and tissues into the blood vessels through their ability to increase plasma oncotic pressure. Crystalloids are intravenous (IV) solutions that contain electrolytes, not proteins, in concentrations resembling those of plasma. They are used to replace lost fluids and promote urine output. Normal human serum albumin does not act on the kidneys. Normal human serum albumin is not a concentrated saline solution.
Answer to Question 2
3. Auscultate breath sounds for crackles
Rationale:
Because human serum albumin pulls fluid into the vascular space, circulatory overload is a serious complication. The nurse must monitor breath sounds; crackles will be heard with pulmonary congestion. An absence of breath sounds is heard with a pneumothorax, not with pulmonary edema. Hyper-resonance is assessed by percussion, not auscultation. Stridor is auscultated with airway obstruction, not pulmonary edema.
