What you would administer hypertonic isotonic and hypotonic solution for?

Hypertonic solutions contain higher concentrations of various dilutes than blood, Isotonic solutions contain the same concentrations, and Hypotonic solutions contain less of its dilute components than blood. As such, you might deliver hypertonic saline to a patient who is electrolytically depleted, an isotonic to a patient whose blood chemistry is good but is hypovolemic, and a hypotonic like D5W to a dehydrated patient whose electrolytes are very high in spite of the dehydration. It's a way of adding fluids and trying to balance the blood chemistry at the same time.

What are the types of solution outside the cell?
hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic...
Is 0.8 NaCl a hypertonic solution?
That depends entirely on what solution it is in. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a seme-permeable membrane.
If a cell is dropped in any solution and the cell does not change size by either shrinking or swelling what is the solution?
isotonic
Is saline plus bicarbonate a isotonic or hypertonic solution?
Sterility doesn't imply an isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic state. Pure water though is hypotonic, when compared to blood.
A bag with a 2 percent solution is placed in a beaker that has a 10 percent solution is the solution in the bag hypotonic hypertonic or isotonic?
hypertonic
Is 0.90 percent mv glucose isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?
No,5percent glucose is an isotonic solution. 0.9 percent is for NaCl.
Is water isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Isotonic solution is a solution that has same concentration, osmotic as well as solvent, as that of another solution . Pure water is hypotonic but water having salt is isotonic. So,water may be either isotonic or hypotonic
Alcaligenes faecalis osmatic pressure hypotonic or hypertonic or isotonic?
Hypotonic is a solution that has more solute than solvent while hypertonic is a solution which contains more solvent than solute. Isotonic is a solution where in both solute and solvent are equal in amount.
Di fferent types of solution?
Different types of solutions are the hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic.
