Question

An intern gives you the following table for a normal adult (65kg) that just finished ingesting an unknown quantity of a sodium chloride solution (750mOsm/L). you notice a few missing entries.

Assuming that the “before” condition means before the NaCl drink; the “after” condition is when equilibrium has been achieved; no water is lost from the body; and that there is no movement of sodium chloride into or out of the cells, fill in the chart above. Fill in the missing information, including the amount of fluid the painting ingested, and all missing osmolarities and volumes.

Extracellular fluid volume Intracellular fluid volume Osmolarity of extracellular compartment Osmolarity of intracellular compartment Amount of fluid ingested Before After 13 liters 26 liters 290 mosmL. 310 mosm/L
