Question 1 of 5

A client is admitted with hypovolemia due to severe bleeding. Which Intravenous fluid does the nurse anticipate using to replace fluid losses?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 0.9% sodium chloride (0.9% NaCl). In hypovolemia due to severe bleeding, the primary goal is to restore intravascular volume. 0.9% NaCl is an isotonic solution that closely resembles the electrolyte composition of plasma, making it ideal for expanding intravascular volume. It helps to restore circulating blood volume and replace lost fluid without causing significant shifts in electrolytes.

Choices A, B, and C are hypotonic solutions, which may worsen hypovolemia by diluting the blood further.
Choice A, 5% dextrose in 0.25% sodium chloride (D5 1/4NS), is a hypotonic solution used for maintenance or to provide free water, not for volume replacement.
Choice D is the most appropriate choice for fluid resuscitation in hypovolemia.
