How would you determine the best concentration of solutes to give a patient in need of fluids before you introduced the fluids into the patient's body?
You would consider the route of administration, for sure. Is the fluid going to be introduced orally? Through an IV line? Knowing the patient's current fluid and electrolyte levels in their blood would be highly helpful. If you put hypertonic solutions in the the body orally, water will be shifted from the circulatory system into the bowel. This may help someone with fluid overload in their blood to remove some of the water from their blood. It would also help to add water to the stool in the digestive system and act as a laxative. (Osmotic saline laxatives work in this manner. If you put hypertonic solutions in an IV you will pull fluids from the interstitial space between cells as well as from the bowels to the circulatory system. This would help reduce edema. If you put hypotonic solutions in the body orally, water will shift from the digestive system to the circulatory system (and will also dilute electrolytes in the circulatory system). This method may be used to reduce electrolyte concentrations in the blood, and to hydrate the circulatory system in general. If you put hypotonic solutions in an IV you would dilute electrolytes in the circulatory system and would shift fluid to the interstitial space between cells. Isotonic is probably the best way to go if you don't want to shift fluids or change electrolyte concentrations in the circulatory / digestive system. 0.9% saline would be an example of this, and is generally the most widely-used solution for basic rehydrating someone through an IV.
If you have AB blood type what group could give blood to?
The AB blood type is known as the universal recipient. Therefore, the groups that a person with this blood type can give blood to are limited. If your blood is AB+, then you can only give to others with AB+ blood. If your blood is AB-, then you can give to people with both AB+ or AB- blood.
Solutions of chemistry chapter solutions xii?
plz write your question about this chapter, i will give u answer.. as u havent wrtitten question...
If your abo blood type is ab what other abo blood groups could you give blood?
A person with blood type AB cannot give blood to anyone but can receive blood from anyone
When two aqueous solutions that differ in solute concentration are placed on either side of a semipermeable membrane and osmosis is allowed to take place the water will?
Osmosis is sometime a bit tricky to wrap one's head around. We know that diffusion, a form of passive transport, brings "equilibrium" to concentrations of a solute within a give vessel. Imagine I put a few drops of food colouring into a tall glass of water. As soon as they make contact with the water, they begin to spread, ultimately over time, adding a hue of the original colour to the entirety of the vat. With osmosis, rather than moving the solute (food colouring), it is the solvent which is moving across the membrane(water transport). Assume, for argument's sake, that our special food colouring will not transverse the semi-permeable membrane. We have equal volumes of water on both side of the membrane, but one side contains twice as much food colouring as the other (higher concentration of colour is "hypertonic" to lesser concentration). What we will observe is the movement of water from the hypotonic side (more water, less colour) to the hypertonic side (less water, more colour). The idea is, while the total mass of solute on both sides does not change, equilibrium will be achieved by moving water. By the time both solutions have the same hue (concentration), water will have shifted FROM the HYPOTONIC side TO the HYPERTONIC side, making both sides ISOTONIC. I'm guessing you're learning about this for a biology class of sorts. Best way to show osmosis is with crenation (crumpling) of a blood cell in a hypertonic solution, and the violent expansion and rupture (lysis) of a blood cell in a hypotonic solution. The following is a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-QJ-UUX0iY">video from Youtube</a> to help you visualize what I've been yammering on about.
Why give an isotonic solution?
When comparing solutions, those that have the same concentration are isotonic. One that is more concentrated is hypertonic; less concentrated is hypotonic.
Which of the 3 intravenous solutions isotonic hypotonic hypertonic has more electrolytes andor glucose content - please differentiate the three solutions based on the mentioned content?
Hypertonic solutions have more electrolytes....HYPER meaning greater/more/excessive. Hypotonic have the least electrolyes. Isotonic have the similar electroly (osmolality) as blood. Meaning if you give isotonic solutions, the fluid will saty in the vessels and not move fluids around. Hypertonic solutions will move water from the cells into the vessels (extracellualr) and hypotonic solution will move water from fluid from the vessels into the cells. Glucose is usually an iso or hypertonic solution, but there are different % of glucose in every solution. D5W is an isotonic solution.
What solution will cause hemolysis?
Hemolysis is the bursting of red blood cells (hemo- blood and lysis- bursting). There are three types of solutions that blood can be put into: hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic. The names of these give you some clue as to how the cell will behave in solution. Hypertonic solutions have greater osmotic pressure than the cells they contain, which will cause the cell to shrivel as its contents diffuse into the solution. Hypotonic solutions have less osmotic pressure than the cells inside of them, so the contents of solution will diffuse across the cell membrane and into the cell, eventually causing it to swell and burst (hemolysis). Isotonic solutions have osmotic pressure equal to that of the solutes they contain, so no net change is observed.
Someone help please -Why is is unsafe to give water intravenously?
An isotonic solution such as saline must be administered intravenously to maintain a proper concentration gradient. Water is hypotonic in relation to red blood cells and will cause the water to flow into the cell bringing about hemolysis. - S. Alam
Which can be given IV suspensions or solutions?
we cant give suspensions by intravenously, only solutions we can. because suspensions can blocks the blood vessels.
What would happen if you to red blood cells if you give a pure water IV?
Fluids entering the blood stream should be isotonic (same salt concentration) as the blood. Water is hypotonic to the cell environment (contains fewer solutes) and this would result in a net movement of water into the cell, causing the cell to swell and lyse (burst).
Give examples of an isotonic solution which we use in out daily lives?
Gatorade.

How does ten percent salt water effect a cell containing ninety seven percent water?
Anytime there is a semipermeable membrane and water with dissolved ions on both sides of the membrane you have a situation where osmosis can occur. If the solutions on each side of the membrane are equal in concentration it is said they are "isotonic" and no net movement of water will occur. If the two solutions are not equal in concentration, then one is hypertonic (more dissolved solutes) and the other is hypotonic (fewer dissolved solutes). In the case of the 10% salt solution, that is hypertonic relative to the cell. Water will move towards the hypertonic side, so water will move out of the cell and into the salt water--in other words, the cell will shrivel up (and possibly die). If instead you put the cell in distilled water, then water would rush into the cell (since it is hypertonic relative to distilled water). In that case the cell would swell up and burst. Isotonic saline solution is 0.85% or 0.9%--not quite 1% salt. They give isotonic saline intravenously when a person is dehydrated. Hope that helps. ~Kevin
