What would happen if a patient was administered an IV containing saline solution?

Some IV's use saline solution, and some IVs use half normal saline solutions. There are other variants, as well (including lactated Ringer's solutions, for instance). Basically, these are various concentrations of salt water which mimic the salt content in the blood (more or less). It can be used to add other medications into your bloodstream. It's also used when the patient has low blood volume from an injury. It can also help reverse dehydration.

Distilled water wouldn't be excepted by the body.
