I found that understanding the types of solutions and, more importantly, their influences on the body. Is a topic that many students and even some current providers still have issues grasping.
Students are presented with a similar picture, like the one on the cover for this post, or given a youtube link to watch a video on the topics.
One of the best ways I found to help the student apply the topic is for them to experiment with a drop of their blood.
See the video below:
