Yes, but it has 39 mEq/L of Na and Cl and always contains 5% dextrose for osmolality reasons.. No, you can not. By definition NORMAL saline is a 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Any other concentration is simply not normal. You can infuse 0.25% saline, either with or without dextrose if you desire. Osmolarity is a concern without dextrose, but is clinically warranted in rare situations.
Their internal osmolarity has to at least equal the osmolarity of the external environment or the cell will lose water to osmosis and die.
normal saline is 0.85%w/v NaCl whlist physiological saline is 0.90% w/v NaCl.
Yes. NS=Normal Saline and NSS=Normal Saline Solution
Not necessary
no
Yes this saline is a hypertonic solution but 3% saline is also not normal. There is nothing "normal" about it. There is only one "normal saline" and that is 0.9%.

How do we prepare a normal saline?

Normal Saline is an isotonic solution.
Normal saline
You have the osmolarity or the osmolality of the blood is equal to the RBC in your blood. That is about 154 millimole or milliosmole, with only slight variation, depending of the water consumption. So the RBC do not burst in your body. They will not burst either, in isotonic or human normal saline. That means in 0.9 % saline solution.
It is saline that has twice the concentration of salt as normal saline. Normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, so twice normal is 1.8% NaCl. Now I have a question. Is this ever given to patients?
what catecholamine should not be mixed with normal saline
normal saline composition is same as body fliud
