A client is prescribed 0.45 sodium chloride, which is a hypotonic solution. The nurse recognizes the primary goal of such intravenous therapy is to:
 
  1. Expand the volume of fluid in the vascular system
  2. Pull fluid from the cells
  3. Keep protein levels normal
  4. Move fluid into the cells

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Isotonic solutions such as normal saline, 0.9 sodium chloride, expand the body's fluid volume without causing a fluid shift from one compartment to another. The remaining options describe the function of other types of fluids.
