You overhear a nurse say that she accidentally gave a
patient an IV bag filled with a hypertonic solution. What do you
think will happen to the patient’s red blood cells?
a. they will shrivel
b. they will not be affected
c. they will swell and burst
d. there is not enough information
Homework Answers
If the extracellular fluid has an higher osmolarity than the cells cytoplasm, it is said to be hypertonic. So if a cell is placed in hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell and the cell will shrink.
So option a is the correct answer.
they will shrivel.

A patient has had a serious accident and lost a lot of blood. In an attempt to replenish body fluids, distilled water (100 % pure water) is transferred directly into one of his veins. What will most probably happen? (The concentration of salt in your cells is 0.9%) It will have no unfavorable effect as long as the water is free of viruses and bacteria. The patient's red blood cells will shrivel up because the fluid is hypotonic compared to...
