For this weeks discussion review literature on normal saline and ringers lactate. It is interesting to note that organizations can differ in their protocols. Focusing on a preoperative patient, answer the following:
1) Name 2 medical conditions that would be contradictive to a patient receiving Normal Saline.
2) Name 2 medical conditions that would be contradictive to a patient receiving Ringers Lactate.
3) Endoscopy and ECT therapy procedures – identify preference of IV solution for procedures at your organization and why. If you do not have information on these procedures please respond to a student response on their organizations specifics!
Table format is acceptable.
