Your patient is a 68-year-old female who is being treated for colon cancer. She is conscious and alert, in mild distress, and complaining of progressive weakness over the past 3 days. Palpation of her abdomen reveals tenderness to the lower right quadrant. Her skin is pale, cool, and dry, and you note the smell and appearance of melena in her stool. HR = 108, BP = 100/60, RR = 12, SpO2 = 97%. Proper treatment of this patient might include:
A) IV of 5% dextrose solution at 30 mL per hour.
