Question

a patient is in need of hydration. which type of solution are the patients cells most likely in?
○ hypotonic
○ hypertonic
○ isotonic
○ osmotic

Explanation:

When a patient needs hydration, if the cells are hypotonic, they have a lower solute - concentration compared to the surrounding environment and are at risk of losing water. In this case, the patient's cells are most likely hypotonic as they need hydration, meaning they are relatively low on water content compared to the ideal state.

Answer:

hypotonic
