The ratio of dextrose to volume in D5W is 5 grams of dextrose in every 100 milliliters of IV fluid. This means the weight of dextrose is 5% of the volume of IV fluid in a D5W solution.

Yes it can be given slow IV push and can be diluted with Normal Saline or D5W

Dextrose is used to describe glucose when manmade for IV use. D5W is an abbreviation for 5% dextrose in water, a common IV solution.
D5W is a preparation of IV solution that has 5% dextrose in pure water (so no salt, unlike normal saline which contains salt). It is mainly used to maintain a patient's blood sugar if they are not able to eat for some reason, as would be the case before a surgery, or if you were worried about them becoming hypoglycemic.
Yes, when dextrose 5% in water (D5W) is mixed with 0.9% NaCl, the resulting solution would be isotonic. This combination creates a solution that closely matches the osmolarity of normal human blood plasma.
