The IV solution that would be prepared to administer in a Y-type tubing adjacent to the blood during a blood transfusion is Normal saline. Normal saline is the most commonly used solution for blood transfusions as it does not affect the pH balance of the blood and is isotonic, meaning it has the same concentration of dissolved particles as the blood. Dextrose solutions and lactated Ringer's are not typically used for blood transfusions as they can potentially alter the blood's pH and electrolyte balance.
