Answer:

Isosmotic-same osmotic pressure (solution concentration)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the solution concentration given to the patient is greater than the body fluids, the patient will be in a hypertonic state, and if the solution concentration is lower than body fluids the patient will be in a hypotonic state.

A hypertonic state will result in red blood cell shrinkage, casing the patient to develop hypernatremia. Hypotonic state will result in the swelling and bursting of red blood and tissue cells.
