Describe two implications on fluid and electrolyte balance if a medic administer

Hemorrhagic hypovolemia occurs when blood volume is lost from the vasculature. For example, a torn mesenteric artery causes internal (i.e., intra?abdominal) bleeding, or a severed femoral artery results in exsanguination. Definitive treatment for hemorrhagic hypovolemia requires that the blood loss be stopped and the blood volume restored via blood transfusion. However, in the pre?hospital environment where blood products are not readily available for transfusion, medics may administer intravenous (IV) fluid to replace volume.

Describe two implications on fluid and electrolyte balance if a medic administers normal saline (0.9% NaCl, isotonic) for volume replacement.
