Normal Saline Solution in 5% Dextrose or D5NSS is a hypertonic solution. It can be used for the temporary treatment of shock if plasma expanders are not available. However, do not administer this IV for clients with cardiac or renal conditions.

D5W (5% dextrose in water) is isotonic when it is initially administered, but once the dextrose is metabolized in the body, it becomes hypotonic.

Fiver percent dextrose is considered an isotonic solution. However, once it enters the body, it becomes hypotonic. The osmolality of body fluids and isotonic solutions are the same.

Hypertonic, because the cell would shrink afterwards.

Is d5w isotonic when mixed with 0.9 percent NaCl?

Yes, when dextrose 5% in water (D5W) is mixed with 0.9% NaCl, the resulting solution would be isotonic. This combination creates a solution that closely matches the osmolarity of normal human blood plasma.


Which of the 3 intravenous solutions isotonic hypotonic hypertonic has more electrolytes andor glucose content - please differentiate the three solutions based on the mentioned content?

Hypertonic solutions have more electrolytes....HYPER meaning greater/more/excessive. Hypotonic have the least electrolyes. Isotonic have the similar electroly (osmolality) as blood. Meaning if you give isotonic solutions, the fluid will saty in the vessels and not move fluids around. Hypertonic solutions will move water from the cells into the vessels (extracellualr) and hypotonic solution will move water from fluid from the vessels into the cells. Glucose is usually an iso or hypertonic solution, but there are different % of glucose in every solution. D5W is an isotonic solution.


Is 0.90 percent mv glucose isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?

No,5percent glucose is an isotonic solution. 0.9 percent is for NaCl.


Is D5 water a hypertonic solution?

D5W is hypertonic to solutions containing less than 5% dextrose.


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


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.

2.5 dextrose in normal saline hypertonic or isotonic?

A 2.5% dextrose in normal saline solution is hypertonic. Normal saline (0.9% NaCl) is isotonic, but adding dextrose increases the osmolarity, making the solution hypertonic.
