lactated ringer's solution isotonic
33
what type and solution of IVF should be used for metabolic acidosis?
Lactated Ringer's solution isotonic
34
what solution is often used during surgery
lactated ringer's solution (isotonic)
35
at what pH should LR not be used?
pH >7.5 bc it worsens alkalosois
36
what can happen if LR is used during renal failure
may elevate potassium levels

38
what solution is used for hypernatremia
D5W 0.45% NaCl (hypotonic)
39
when should D5W not be used?
