Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IV of lactated Ringer's solution is the least likely to be detrimental when treating a stroke patient. It is a standard intravenous solution used to restore fluid and electrolyte balance and is not known to have any negative effects on stroke patients. Hyperventilation with 100 percent oxygen and administration of high doses of dextrose can both cause harm to stroke patients and are not recommended.
