The nurse anticipates that which IV solution will most likely be prescribed to increase intravascular volume, replace immediate blood loss volume, and increase blood pressure?

Hypertonic

What type of fluid would a patient with severe hyponatremia (low sodium level in blood) most likely be started on?

A patient with cerebral edema would most likely be ordered what type of solution?

Hypertonic; The solution would remove water from the brain cells back into the intravascular system to be excreted

Notify physician, remove IV catheter at site, apply moist warm pack to site, document the occurrence, the actions taken, and the clients response.
