Question 10 (4 points) 10. How does normal saline compare to blood in terms of electrolyte concentrations and tonicity? 10.1 How do the concentrations of sodium and chloride in normal saline compare to the concentrations of sodium and chloride found in blood: much higher, much lower or similar? 10.2 How does the tonicity of normal saline compare to the tonicity of plasma: much higher much lower or similar? 5S 10.3 How does the osmolarity of normal saline compare to the osmolarity of plasma: much higher, much lower or similar? D//View hint for Question 10 Save Question 11 (2 points)

Explanation / Answer

10.1) Concentration of sodium and chloride ion in normal saline is slightly higher than blood.

Concentration of sodium and chloride in the normal solution is sodium-154meq/l .

Chloride-154meq/l.

Concentration of sodium and chloride in the blood is

Sodium 136-145meq/l

chloride is 96-106meq/l.

10.2) Tonicity of normal saline is similar to the Tonicity of plasma i.e; isotonic.

10.3) Osmolarity of normal saline is approximately similar to the Osmolarity of plasma i.e; 290 mOsmol/l.
