Explanation:

A person is admitted into the hospital with an unknown ailment. The patient is seen by Triage and immediately put on intravenous liquid or more commonly known as an IV by a brand-new nurse. Unfortunately for the patient, the nurse did not properly prepare the IV, and hooked the patient to an IV fluid line consisting only of distilled water.

A)The environment in the patient's blood will be isotonic if the cells and their environment have reached equilibrium the cells will remain the same size.

B)The environment inside and outside of the patient's cells will be isotonic and may cause the cells to burst.

C) The environment in the patient's cells will be hypotonic and will cause the cells to shrink.

D)The environment in the patient's cells will be hypertonic and will cause the cells to burst.

So what happens when people get an IV is an intravenous solution that goes straight to the blood flow, helping immidiately the person that needs the medicine, in this case, the person is only getting distilled water, this can create an hypertonic environment which happens when there's too much water outside the cell, and eventually it gets inside the cell, this make it burst caus it can no longer contain more water inside of it. so the correct answer would be:

D)The environment in the patient's cells will be hypertonic and will cause the cells to burst.

answer; i believe that the correct answer is (lung);
