QUESTION

Ringer lactate solution should not be used against?

OPTIONS

(A) Burn
(B) Dehydration
(C) Peritonitis
(D) Hepatic disorder

ANSWER

(D) Hepatic disorder

EXPLANATION

Lactated Ringer’s contains lactate that must be metabolized largely by the liver to bicarbonate, so it is generally avoided or used cautiously in severe hepatic dysfunction. It is commonly useful in burns, dehydration, and many forms of fluid loss, making hepatic disorder the contraindicating option here.
