When a nurse administers a hypotonic intravenous solution to a client,how will the water move?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a hypotonic solution is administered intravenously, it decreases the osmolarity of the plasma, making it less concentrated than the interstitial fluid. This difference in concentration causes water to move by osmosis from the plasma compartment (where the hypotonic solution is added) to the interstitial compartment (where the concentration of solutes is now relatively higher), in an attempt to equalize the osmotic pressure across the compartments.
