Detailed Solution

  • When a person receives fluids intravenously (through an IV bag, for example), a saline solution is sometime used. 
  • Giving large amounts of pure water directly into a vein would cause the blood cells to become hypotonic.
  • Water will enter into the blood cells until they burst possibly leading to death.
