A nurse stops a student nurse from giving a patient intravenous (IV) distilled water instead of normal saline or 0.9% NaCl as ordered by the physician. If the student nurse had given the distilled water, what would have happened to the patient's red blood cells? Another student nurse is giving a patient with low sodium 3% NaCl IV as ordered by their physician, what could happen to this patient's red blood cells if this is given too fast? Why do we give normal saline to patients IV most of the time to rehydrate? Which of the fluids are hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic? Use what you learned about osmosis from Visible body to help you.
