Wht is the effect if a person with moderate vomiting and diarrhea is infused with 0.5 to 1l of 0.9% nacl? is the nacl isotonic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rehydration/Yes: 0.9% or Normal Saline is isotonic. It is given if a patient with diarrhea and vomitting is felt to be dehydrated to help rehydrate and that is the effect it has.
