These are the instructions I use for normal saline. I am a visiting nurse and
we often have to have patients prepare normal saline for wound care.
Boil 6 cups of water for 20 minutes
allow to cool
put 4 cups in a sterile container
add 2 teaspoons of salt
or
1 pint of boiled water to 1 teaspoon of salt.
