LPN Fundamentals Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Indicate true or false: (Adapted: Which statement is true about IV solutions?)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hypotonic solutions (e.g., 0.45% saline) shift fluid into cells, replacing intracellular loss (e.g., dehydration), making this true ideal for cellular rehydration. Smaller veins aren't ideal for irritating solutions (e.g., potassium); larger veins dilute and tolerate them better, reducing phlebitis making this false. Adapting the true/false format, 'hypotonic solutions should replace intracellular loss' stands as true, supported by fluid dynamics in nursing. Both being true fails due to the vein statement. Neither true ignores the hypotonic role. The first statement's accuracy aligns with IV therapy principles, guiding nurses in fluid management, making it the correct choice.
