Need help with a question!

So, I am having trouble understanding this question if someone could please help solve/explain this question that would be great!!

A nurse is assessing a school age client who is experiencing seizure activity and is prescribed diazepam (Valium) IV. The nurse should clarify the order if the client is receiving a continuous infusion of which of the following IV:

a. Lactated Ringers solution

b. 0.9% Sodium chloride with 100 units of regular insulin

c. 0.9% Sodium chloride

d. 0.9% Sodium chloride with 20 mEq of potassium chloride

    Have you looked in your drug guide? These are all fluid types. This should indicate to you that one of those fluids is not compatible with diazepam drips. Rather simple.

    In general, the seasoned nurses and instructors here like to see you attempt to answer yourself. Then they will guide you from there. But they will usually not just outright give you the answer.

    If you look, and still cant figure it out, then give it a guess on what you think the answer is and why, and someone will be along to better explain it to you and help you get to the right answer.

    The answer is to be found in your pharmacology book. If you don't understand it, come ask us to help you understand! But do tell us what you found out first.

    Hint: remember your Sesame Street songs: "One of these things is not like the others; one of these things is not the same..." How? Why?
