Which condition enhances lymphatic flow?
a. | Increased tissue hydrostatic pressure | |
b. | Increased interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure | |
c. | Increased capillary oncotic pressure | |
d. | Decreased capillary hydrostatic pressure |
Option B is correct
Because anything which increases interstitial fluid pressure, increases the lymphatic flow as it crates the pressure gradient across the capillary membrane, which allows the outside flow, resulting in increased interstitial fluid due to osmotic pressure.. And the excess interstitial fluid moves towards the lymphatic region. Thus enhances the lymphatic flow.

The nurse is caring for a patient with edema in the legs. The nurse understands the edema is a result of which of the following? 1- increased capillary oncotic pressure from the loss of plasma protein 2- Hyponatremia causing water to move from the intercellular space to the vascular space 3- increased hydrostatic pressure forcing fluid out of the vessel and into the tissue 4- obstruction of the lymphatic system causing increased fluid in the veins
