    Which of the following solutions can be administered with a blood component?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Lactated Ringers solution contains calcium, which can react with the anticoagulant in the blood product and cause clotting. B. Dextrose-containing solutions can cause hemolysis of red blood cells when administered with blood components. C. 0.9% sodium chloride (normal saline) is the only solution that is isotonic and compatible with blood products, preventing hemolysis and clot formation. It is safe for use during transfusions. D. Dextrose-containing and hypotonic solutions can damage blood cells and are not recommended for use with blood components.
