2. Hospital patients often receive medications, nutrients, and water intravenously (IV), which means they are injected directly into the patient's veins through a needle. IV fluid is not pure water but is instead a saline solution (water containing NaCl). What do you think is the appropriate NaCl concentration for IV fluid? Why? 3. What would happen if pure water was used as IV fluid instead of saline solution?

A drug is infused intravenously (IV) for treatment of a particular disease. The infusion rate of the drug is k0 = 200 mg/hr. The volume of the body fluid V = 16 liters. The drug is excreted (removed) through the kidneys at rate ke = 0.3/hr, proportional to the concentration of the drug in the body fluids. How much is the maximum concentration of the drug in the body in the steady state in mg/l?
