Student Handout for But Why? Understanding the Implications of Fluid Imbalances DIRECTIONS: After being grouped into pairs, please provide an explanation as to why the following may occur in fluid imbalance scenarios. 1. Why are renin levels increased during fluid deficit? 2. Why does decreased serum albumin result in edema? 3. Why is an isotonic IV used to replace fluid lost to hemorrhage? 4. Why does inhibition of ADH result in increased serum osmolarity? 5. Why does urine output increase with BNP release? 6. Why does sodium retention increase the likelihood of edema? 7. Why is a hypertonic IV solution used to reduce brain swelling?
