Run normal saline at a keep-vein-open rate.

The nurse will infuse normal saline at a KVO rate to keep the patency of the IV line while waiting for further orders from the physician.Option A: IV solution containing dextrose will hemolyze the red cells.Option C: The nurse will not remove the IV line because then there would be no IV access route.Option D: Doing a fast drip will potentially lead to congestion and is not done without the physician order.
