A)There are always more positive electrolytes than negative in a solution; it is thereforeimpossible to follow fluid shifts.B)Electrolytes have greater osmotic power than nonelectrolytes and therefore have the greatestability to cause fluid shifts. C) Nonelectrolytes are the controlling factor in directing fluid shifts. D) Electrolytes are not as important as proteins in regulating fluid shifts in the body.
