What will happen to the cells of a patient who is provided with an intravenous solution that is isosmotic to intracellular fluids?

The question cannot be answered with certainty without knowing the identity of the solutes present in the IV solution. The pressure of the fluid and the cells are the same, but the solutes in the IV solution may have an effect on how it affects the cells.

What is the osmolality of an isosmotic solution with plasma?
The osmolality of isosmotic solution is 300milliosmolar.
What is the of the characteristics of an intravenous solution?
Effervescence
Which salt solution is more likely to be isotonic to the intracellular fluids of a potato?
.5%
Why does the red blood cell lyse in an isosmotic solution of urea?
Urea is isosmotic to the intracellular fluid of red blood cells, but because the membranes of the blood cells are permeable to urea. Urea enters the cell at a much more rapid rate than other permeable solutes (because of the steep concentration gradient) and the cell fills to it bursts.
What is the name of a hypo-tonic solution used in intravenous infusion?
Ringers lactate

What is the Difference between isosmotic and isotonic solution?
isotonic solution comprise non-penetrating solute and they are solution having the same osmotic pressure as the cell they surround. they are neither absorbed or do they absorb anything from the cell.Iso-osmotic solutions are comprise penetrating and non-penetrating solutes .although they have the same osmotic pressure as the cell they surround ,they comprise penetrating solute ,which can enter the cell and increase the cell's osmotic pressure .increasing the cell's osmotic pressure,make the cell prone to absorb water from the medium in order to equalize the osmotic pressure on both sides,and this cause bursting of the cell.
