Prior to the administration of intravenous fluid, it is most important for the nurse to obtain which information from the health care provider's order?

      
a. Intravenous catheter size
      
b. Osmolarity of the solution
      
c. Vein to be used for therapy
      
d. Specific type of intravenous fluid

I was thinking thinking that the answer might be d? Anyone have any insight?

The answer is D.

Prior to administering ANY medication via ANY route, the nurse should verify the specific drug, dose, route, schedule, and applicable diagnos(e)s.

A and C are incorrect because those are at the discretion of the nurse.  These aren't ordered.
B is the responsibility of the pharmacy if applicable and will not be specified explicitly in the order.
