Calculate the net filtration pressure (NFP) with a blood hydrostatic pressure of 38 mm Hg and a blood colloid osmotic pressure of 24 mm Hg. Assume all other pressures are normal. Then determine if filtration or reabsorption occurs. NFP = ________ and results in a fluid ________. Select one: A. 15 mm Hg; filtration B. 62 mm Hg; filtration C. 15 mm Hg; reabsorption D. 62 mm Hg; reabsorption E. -15 mm Hg; filtration

Step 1
First, we need to calculate the net filtration pressure (NFP) using the formula: NFP = (blood hydrostatic pressure) - (blood colloid osmotic pressure) NFP = 38 mm Hg - 24 mm Hg NFP = 14 mm Hg Show more…
