All of these answers are correct. Overhydration occurs when an individual consumes more water than their body can excrete. This can lead to a number of symptoms, including confusion, headache, lethargy, weakness, and edema. The excess water will move by osmosis into the cells, causing them to swell. Both the ECF and ICF compartments will be hypotonic after the fluid shift has occurred.
