Infusing 0.9% sodium chloride could cause rapid shifts in serum levels of some substances. C. Dextrose 10% in water Rationale: TPN contains high concentrations of dextrose and proteins. To avoid hypoglycemia, the nurse should infuse dextrose 10% or 20% in water until the next container of TPN solution arrives. D. Lactated Ringer’s solution Rationale: TPN contains high concentrations of certain nutrients. Infusing lactated Ringer’s solution could cause rapid shifts in serum levels of some substances. 2.
