Question
Answer

🗑
Isotonic IV solutions   treatment of vascular system fluid deficit - prevent fluid shift btw compartments - ex. NS, LR, D5W  
🗑
Hypotonic IV solutions   treatment of intracellular dehydration - shift fluid from ECF to ICF - ex. 1/2NS  
🗑
Hypertonic IV soultions   used only when serum osmolality is critically low - shift fluid from ICF to ECF - ex. 10% dextrose, D5W1/2NS, (anything with dextrose)  
🗑
