What is the tonicity of D5LR?
D5LR is isotonic, meaning it has a similar osmotic pressure to human blood. It is commonly used for fluid resuscitation because it does not cause cells to shrink or swell.
Can LPN hang a bag of d5lr with 20 units of pitocin?
No, not in Ohio. The IV certified LPN can hang the D5LR but Pitocin is NOT on the list of solutions LPNs can hang, it is not an antibiotic allowing the intermittent/secondary rule and its not a vitamin/electrolyte that they would be allowed to hang a second bag of. IM shots of Pitocin can be given by an LPN but they are only used to control postpartum uterine bleeding after the delivery of the placenta.
