Question
a patient is in need of hydration. which type of solution are the patients cells most likely in? hypotonic hypertonic isotonic osmotic
Isotonic solutions have the same osmotic pressure as body fluids and are ideal for general - hydration as they do not cause significant water movement into or out of cells. Hypotonic solutions have a lower osmotic pressure and can cause cells to swell, while hypertonic solutions have a higher osmotic pressure and can cause cells to shrink. Osmotic is a general term related to osmosis and not a specific type of solution for routine hydration.
