a solution that a patient needs for medical treatment needs to be ____ with blood cells.
select the correct answer below:
isotonic
hypotonic
hypertonic
all of the above

Explanation:

An isotonic solution has the same osmotic pressure as blood cells. This ensures no net movement of water into or out of the blood cells, preventing cell damage (like bursting in hypotonic or shrinking in hypertonic). Hypotonic solutions cause cells to swell (as water moves in), hypertonic cause cells to shrink (as water moves out). So for medical treatment solutions, isotonic is correct.

Answer:

A. isotonic
