Comment “FLUIDS” on Instagram @yournursingeducator and I’ll DM you a complete IV Fluids Breakdown Cheat Sheet, packed with case examples, NCLEX tips, and everything you need to master this topic for exams and clinicals.

Start with isotonic. Only switch if you know the patient’s specific condition. 📌 Save this post for med-surg review or tag a classmate who still mixes up fluid types! 📩 Want more free cheat sheets?
