Randy is a nursing student. he has been asked to intravenously inject his patient with 10ml of an isotonic preparation. mistakenly, he injects his patient with 10ml of pure water. what is likely to happen to the red blood cells near the site of injection

The injection of the water would result in the dilution of the plasma. The dilution of the blood plasma would make it hypotonic as compared to the red blood cells present in the plasma.

In the hypotonic plasma, the red blood blood cell would cell. The red blood cell would allow the water molecules to come inside and as a result of inflow of the water, the cell will swell and probably burst. So, the red blood cells at the site of injection will swell and burst due to the injection of water.

the correct answer would be 6 feet.

the answer is true when observing or determining population size, a direct observation is use, in which each organism is counted in a population or in an area. one benefit of this measure is that you get the exact population count but it will take a long time to  determine  the  size  of a  population.
