The nurse is explaining how to a client how fluid and electrolytes get from one body compartment to another. Characteristics of transport mechanisms include:
 
  1. Osmosis is the passage of water from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
  2. Diffusion occurs when molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of higher solute concentration to an area of lower solute concentration
  3. Filtration is the process by which water and solutes move across capillary membranes pushed by osmotic pressure
  4. ATP enables the movement of magnesium and potassium ions across cell membranes

Question 2

The nurse is preparing to meet a client for the first time to teach about home ostomy management. Prior to meeting the client, what information will the nurse want to gather in order to individualize the teaching plan? Select all that apply.
 
  Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Education level
  2. Cognitive ability
  3. Social class
  4. Employment
  5. Culture

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Osmosis is the passage of water from an area of higher solute concentration and out of an area of lower solute concentration

Answer to Question 2

1,2,4,5
Rationale: Considerations when planning teaching should include the client's educational level, cognitive ability, social class, and culture. Knowledge of educational level and cognitive level helps the nurse to plan teaching aimed at the client's current intellectual level. Knowledge of the client's job and culture provides information to help the nurse develop rapport with this client.
