Question 18

hypertonic solution admin IV

Answer 18

= lots of solute into the vascular = water moves from interstitial (cells) to plasma (vascular) and can = dehydration

Question 19

hypotonic solution admin IV

Answer 19

= low solutes into the vascular = water moves from the vascular to the cells and can = hypotension
