Answer:

The water is hypotonic to the body of the patients

Explanation:

<em>Pure water is generally hypotonic to the red blood cells in the body of humans. Hence, if a person is hooked up to an IV line that included pure water, the red blood cells in the person's body will take-in water, become turgid, and then start lysing. This will make the person become sick or even cause death in severe cases.</em>
