svp [43]3 years ago

Saline is used for two purposes. One it is sometimes used to wash procedure areas. Second it is used to keep a patient hydrated.

In terms of saline being used for hydration, because water diffuses through permeable membranes to areas of higher to lower concentrations they water would naturally do that in the body. This is super dangerous, if a lot of water enters the body without salt to keep the concentration balance in check. A person may overfill cells with water, and can cause dangerous organ swelling and degradation. That is the purpose of saline.

Which of these is part of a healthy relationship
Anettt [7]

The answer is option C "Being an active listener." It's not option A because refusing to cooperate is refusing to listen to your spouse which is a bad component in a relationship. It's not option B because letting your spouse set your boundaries for you is mainly meaning that she's telling you what to do which is a controlling relationship, it's also not option D because agreeing to a compromise is another way to solve a problem or a argument and never doing that is not safe. So it's option C because the other options are examples of a bad relationship.


Hope this helps!
