| hydrostatic pressure | pressure exerted against a membrane |
| hypertonic solution | solution that is more concentrated than body fluid |
| hypervolemia | higher-than-normal volume of water in the intravascular fluid compartment |
| hypoalbuminemia | deficit of albumin in the blood |
| hypotonic solution | one that contains fewer dissolved substances than normally found in plasma |
| hypovolemia | low volume in the extracellular fluid compartment |
| infiltration | escape of intravenous fluid into the tissue |
| infusion pump | device that uses pressure to infuse solutions |
| intake and output | record of client's fluid intake and fluid loss over a 24-hour period |
| intermittent venous access device | sealed chamber that provides a means for administering intravenous medications or solutions on a periodic basis |
| interstitial fluid | fluid in tissue space between and around cells |
| intracellular fluid | fluid inside cells |
| intravascular fluid | watery plasma, or serum, portion of the blood |
| intravenous fluids | solutions infused into a client's vein |
| ions | substances that carry either a positive or a negative electrical charge |
| isotonic solution | solution that contains the same concentration of dissolved substances as normally found in plasma |
| needleless systems | equipment that eliminates the need for needles |
| nonelectrolytes | chemical compounds that remain bound together when dissolved in solution |
| osmosis | process that regulates the distribution of water |
| oxygen therapeutics | fluids that when transfused carry and distribute oxygen to cells, tissues, and organs; also known as blood substitutes |
| parenteral nutrition | nutrients, such as proteins, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, which are administered intravenously |
| passive diffusion | physiologic process in which dissolved substances, such as electrolytes and gases, move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane |
| peripheral parenteral nutrition | isotonic or hypotonic intravenous nutrient solution instilled in a vein distant from the heart |
| phlebitis | inflammation of the vein |
| port | sealed opening |
