Answer:
The correct answer is - hypertonic.
Explanation:
Hypertonic solution or the cells consist high concentration solutes in comparison to the other solution and in such cases, the water tends to move from hypertonic region to the hypotonic region.
In the given case the salt concentration which is solute in the patient's cells is higher 6% than the salt (solute) concentration of the given IV which is 4%, therefore, the patient's cell is hypertonic in comparison to IV.
