Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
0.9 NS is an isotonic solution appropriate for hypovolemia. D50.2 NS, D5W, and 0.45 NS are hypotonic solutions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Syringe pumps are used in patients with diabetes. A central line is not appropriate for the diabetic patient requiring insulin. A microdrip set is a type of IV tubing that is used when small volumes of fluid are given to patients with fluid volume concerns. A piggyback system is a type of administration set that connects to a primary setup and administers a small volume over 20 to 60 minutes.
