    No. The IV will be hypotonic compared to the cell cytoplasm causing the cells to explode. Because the IV doesn't have any other nutrients or constituents, it is less concentrated than the cell. The cell cytoplasm absorbs the water to try to adapt to this change, however the cell will eventually become swollen and explode.
