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.

What is in an IV bag?
It depends on what the IV is being used for. Most IV's start with a large amount of sterile, pure water then different electrolytes are added to give the IV fluid its properties that make it work on the body the way the doctor needs it to. The IV might also contain dextrose, a sugar needed by the body for fuel. There might also be different medications that are added to the IV fluid so those medications can be slowly administered to the patient.

What is IV made of?
IV just stands for IntraVenous, so almost any fluid can be given that way, but the standard solution that is given is saline to which you can add whatever additive you need. Typical saline solution just contains sterile water and sodium chloride (salt). The concentration of the salt can vary depending on what it is needed for. Two of the more common concentrations are 0.9% (normal saline) which is isotonic to blood, and 0.45% (also called 1/2 normal saline), which is hypotonic to blood. Another common additive to saline is dextrose, which like saline comes in carrying concentrations. There are also some specialty IV solutions such as Ringers Lactate and Acitated Ringers, that are used in certain circumstances.
How do you tell if you have an infection at the site of an IV?
Infected IV sites may become red, inflamed, and warm to the touch. The site may also be painful. When an IV site shows signs of infection the IV should be discontinued and a new one started.
