Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale 1: Plasma protein fraction (Plasmanate) is a colloid.
Rationale 2:Lactated Ringer's is a crystalloid.
Rationale 3: Normal saline (0.9 sodium chloride) is a crystalloid.
Rationale 4: Hypertonic saline (3 sodium chloride) is a crystalloid.

Global Rationale: Plasma protein fraction (Plasmanate) is a colloid. Lactated Ringer's, normal saline (0.9 sodium chloride),andhypertonic saline (3 sodium chloride) are crystalloids.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale 1: Plasma protein fraction (Plasmanate) would not be questioned because it is a colloid.
Rationale 2: Dextran 40 (Gentran 40) would not be questioned because it is a colloid.
Rationale 3:Platelets would be questioned because they are a blood product.
Rationale 4: Albumin (Albuminar) would not be questioned because it is a colloid.

Global Rationale: Platelets would be questioned because they are a blood product. Plasma protein fraction (Plasmanate) would not be questioned because it is a colloid. Dextran 40 (Gentran 40) would not be questioned because it is a colloid. Albumin (Albuminar) would not be questioned because it is a colloid.
