Rationale 1: Colloids are made up of protein and other large molecules.
Rationale 2: Crystalloids, not colloids, readily cross into cells. Colloids contain proteins that are too large to leave the blood.
Rationale 3: Colloids contain proteins that are too large to leave the blood.
Rationale 4: Crystalloids promote urine output, whereas colloids increase oncotic pressure.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Propranolol is a beta blocker used to treat hypertension.
Rationale 2: Dobutamine is a vasoconstrictor used to treat vasodilatation and hypotension, which occur in shock.
Rationale 3: Norepinephrine is a vasoconstrictor used to treat vasodilatation and hypotension, which occur in shock.
Rationale 4: Phenylephrine is a vasoconstrictor used to treat vasodilatation and hypotension, which occur in shock.
