What osmotic effect would injecting a patient with a 10 percent saline solution have?
hypertonic effect
Normal saline is 0.9 percent what would happen to the red blood cells of a patient who was teated with 0 percent saline what about 10 percent saline?
Normal Saline 0.9% is called an isotonic solution. A 0.0% saline solution is called a hypotonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse into the red blood cells and cause them to burst open. A 10% saline solution is called a hypertonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse out of the red blood cells, making them shrivel up and shrink.
Why is ti advisable to use normal saline solution rather than water?
Not sure what you are using saline solution for but i would say that saline solution is steril and water is not.
Why would 5 saline solution cause a patient recovering from surgery to go into shock and die?
solution too concentrated,causing fluid buildup in vessel leading to dehydration and acute renal failure
Why is saline used in microbiology?
Saline is sterilized and used to suspend and wash bacterial cells. Saline is used as distilled water would cause the cells to lyse due to osmosis. The saline solution is a solution of salt and water, it contains no source of energy.
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.
What do saline solutions evaporated taste like?
Saline solutions are ones that contain salt...if you evaporate a saline solution, you recover the dissolved salt, therefore an evaporated saline solution tastes like the salt that it is.
Why would a saline solution used for practice injections in a medical assisting class cause a slight sting while a solution of saline with bacteriostatic does not?

How do you dilute 500 gallons of 31 percent to 15 percent?
To dilute 500 gallons of a 31% solution to a 15% solution you would add 533.33 gallons of the dilutant. For example, if you have 500 gallons of a 31% saline solution you would add 533.33 gallons of water to create 1033.33 gallons of a 15% saline solution.
Is it possible to do 8 root canals in 5 hours?
Probably it would be too much medication and trauma for the patient.
What might happen to human blood cells if placed in a beaker of salt water?
It depends on the concentration of salt within the solution. If the saline solution was less than 0.9%, then water would flow into the cells and they would swell and possible rupture. If the saline concentration was greater than 0.9%, then water would flow out of the cells and shrink which is called crenation. It the saline solution was 0.9% exactly, that is isotonic to the interior of a RBC and nothing would happen.
