A client prescribed isotonic IV hydration.

Question 1 of 5

A client is prescribed isotonic IV hydration for their current fluid balance problem. Which property of isotonic fluid replacement is essential for the nurse to understand?

A. Isotonic fluid helps the client feel less thirsty when they are NPO. B. This type of IV hydration replaces blood volume without affecting intracellular fluid. C. Isotonic IV hydration can cause cells to burst if given too rapidly. D. This type of IV fluid must be given in an intensive care setting with frequent monitoring of the client's vital signs.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: This type of IV hydration replaces blood volume without affecting intracellular fluid. Isotonic IV fluids have the same osmolarity as blood, making them ideal for rapidly expanding intravascular volume without causing a shift of fluid into or out of cells. This is crucial in treating conditions like hypovolemia or dehydration.
Choice A is incorrect because isotonic fluids do not directly reduce thirst sensation.
Choice C is incorrect as isotonic fluids, by definition, do not cause cells to burst.
Choice D is incorrect because isotonic fluids can be safely administered outside the ICU as long as appropriate monitoring is in place.
