1. A patient has been admitted to the hospital with severe dehydration due to constant vomiting and diarrhea for the past 3 days. The first thing the hospital staff needs to do for this patient is administer fluids intravebously, but the patient is demanding he only be given "pure" water, and is refusing any other IV fluids. You are responsible for patient education at this hospital In order to get the patient to agree to be administered the 0.9% saline IV fluids he needs to rectify his dehydration, you must first educate him on what will happen if he exposes his cells to "pure" water. Explain to this patient why he should not receive pure water intravenously,

Solutions have been described as being "concentrated or "diluted". Consequently, biological tissues that gets exposed to such solutions may vary from one state to the other as shown in the pictures below. Hypertonic Isotonic Hypotonic HO HO If the "Isotonic" solution is 0.15M in NaCl, what NaCl concentrations are likely to be the hypertonic and the hypotonic solutions? Select one: O A. Hypertonic = 0.200M; Hypotonic = 0.065M O B. Hypertonic = 0.065M; Hypotonic = 0.200M %D O C. Hypertonic = 0.150M; Hypotonic = 0.150M %3D O D. Both should be slightly above the concentration of normal saline solution
