Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for a hypotonic IV fluid. Which of the following solutions should the nurse expect to administer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 0.45% sodium chloride. Hypotonic IV fluids have a lower osmolality compared to the body's normal osmolality. 0.45% sodium chloride is considered hypotonic, making it the appropriate choice. Lactated Ringer's (
A) and 0.9% sodium chloride (
B) are isotonic solutions, while 3% sodium chloride (
C) is hypertonic.
Therefore, D is the correct answer for a hypotonic IV fluid.
