D5W movement to and effect on ells

I'll give you a heads up!

Outside the body is it: isotonic? hypotonic? hypertonic?

Inside the body does it become: isotonic? hypotonic? hypertonic?

Isotonic- same amount of solutes in the cell, than outside of the cell. ( eg, cell remains the same size)

Hypotonic- less amount of solutes inside the cell, than outside of the cell.(eg, cell swells)

Hypertonic-more solutes inside of the cell, than outside of the cell. (Eg. Cell shrinks)

Therefore, D5W would be hypotonic solution, since the since the fluid would move out of the cell.

I'll the OP this; D5W is isotonic outside the body, D5W becomes hyotonic in the body.

Why do you think this is?

If we have a HYPOTONIC soln, refer to your definitions and you and the OP will know what happens to movement of the D5W.

Just completed full year of A&P..lol This is a challenge for me..:)

I'm a nursing student, I just REALLY enjoy helping others learn! I hope the OP shows up.

D5W is Dextrose 5% in Water- simple right? & based on your A&P knowledge you totally know dextrose is a sugar, right "ose"?

My understanding is that the dextrose is quickly broken down by the body- so this is why our original Isotonic D5W solution becomes hypotonic in the body in relation to the intracellular space.

(Esme, please correct me if I'm wrong! )

I honestly want y'all to figure it out! That way y'all will remember for good.

Take a stab at it, you have the info you need.

The fluids we're infusing are hypotonic in relation to the intracellular space. So what do you think will happen?

D5W technically speaking is a isotonic solution. However, it has the function of a hypotonic solution, since fluid flows into the cell..I believe..lol

Isotonic outside the body; inside it is hypotonic because the sugar is broken down.

So yes, since in the body it is hypotonic; fluids will move into the cell.

Once you advance in your nursing studies you can start applying all this and figuring out what fluids will be typically ordered for what conditions or desired outcomes.

Ok..Thanks that is all could come up with..lol What year are you in the program?

After tomorrow ... Finally a senior! C:

Just gonna take a critical care final tomorrow

I finally see the light!!!!!

(2 semesters left)

(peds/obs/psych/mgtmnt).

How about yourself?

Congrats! 2 more semesters of my prerequisites, then I am going to apply to a few BSN programs for fall'14. As of fall I will be taking Microbiology. Are you in a BSN program?
