Question 1 of 5

A patient is severely dehydrated from vomiting and diarrhea causing his or her blood to become hypertonic. What effects does the nurse expect this will have on the red blood cells

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: The cells will shrink and shrivel, decreasing their oxygen-carrying ability. Severe dehydration leads to hypertonic blood, causing water to move out of the cells through osmosis, leading to cell shrinkage and decreased oxygen-carrying ability.
Choice A is incorrect as red blood cells do not migrate to the bone marrow in response to dehydration.
Choice B is incorrect as red blood cells do not precipitate out of circulation due to dehydration.
Choice C is incorrect as cell swelling and rupture do not occur in hypertonic conditions.
