Answer to Question 1
B
Because this patient is experiencing fluid volume loss as the result of excessive sweating, this is most likely hypertonic dehydration, in which loss of water exceeds loss of electrolytes. This should be treated with a hypotonic solution or with fluids that contain no solutes at all. Initial treatment may consist of having the patient drink water. When intravenous therapy is provided, volume replenishment should occur in stages. Hypertonic fluids are used to treat hypotonic con-traction, usually caused by excessive sodium loss through the kidneys as the result of diuretic therapy. Isotonic fluids are used to treat isotonic contraction, which is generally caused by vo-miting and diarrhea. An oral electrolyte solution would only increase the hypertonicity; if oral rehydration is used in this case, the patient should drink plain water.
