Nurse Cameron has been asked to mix an isotonic intravenous solution for an emergency room patient who has lost a lot of blood. The available solutes include glucose (m.w. 180), NaCl (m.w. 58.5), and urea (m.w. 60). How should she make up 10 L of IV solution with an osmolarity of 290 mOsm (isosmotic), making sure that it will also be isotonic?
