An increase in blood hydrostatic pressure would result in which fluid volume disturbance?
A)Fluid volume excess, because the pressure would force fluid out through the lymphatic system and into the interstitial compartment.
B)Fluid volume deficit, because the pressure would force fluid out of the interstitial compartment and into the lymphatic system.
C)Fluid volume excess, because the pressure would force fluid out through the capillary walls and into the interstitial compartment.
D)Fluid volume deficit, because the pressure would force fluid out of the interstitial compartment and into the capillaries.

A)When extracellular fluid volume excess occurs, the increased fluid volume in the vascular compartment congests the veins. This leads to an increase in blood hydrostatic pressure. In turn, as the pressure against the sides of the capillaries increases, more fluid enters the interstitial compartment, causing further fluid volume excess.
B)When extracellular fluid volume excess occurs, the increased fluid volume in the vascular compartment congests the veins. This leads to an increase in blood hydrostatic pressure. In turn, as the pressure against the sides of the capillaries increases, more fluid enters the interstitial compartment, causing further fluid volume excess.
