Q
Hypertonic dehydration
A
Water loss exceeds electrolytes
Fluids move out of cell
Increased fluid loss
Treated with hypotonic solution
1
Q
Isotonic dehydration
A
Water and electrolytes lost equally
Decreased blood volume
Not enough fluids
Treated with isotonic solution
2
Q
Hypotonic dehydration
A
Electrolyte loss exceeds water loss
