a patient is in need of hydration. which type of solution are the patients cells most likely in?\no…

Brief Explanations:

When a patient needs hydration, the cells are most likely in a hypertonic state. In a hypertonic environment, cells lose water due to osmosis. A hypotonic solution is needed to re - hydrate the cells by allowing water to move into them. Isotonic solutions have the same osmotic pressure as body fluids and don't cause net water movement into or out of cells for re - hydration purposes. Osmotic is a general term related to the process of osmosis and not a specific solution type in this context.

Answer:

B. hypertonic
