Yes I put B and everyone I know did too, but as far as I've been taught, if something is compatible with sodium choride 0.9% that doesn't mean it is compatible with 0.18%, and doesn't mean it is compatible with glucose (I can't remember if the BNF says it is compatible with glucose 5% or not, but I'm pretty sure it didn't say it was compatible with 4%). Surely the BNF states suitable infusion fluids along with suitable strengths for a reason? If a different fluid/strength is used then couldn't it affect the stability of the infusion?

(I don't have a BNF on me cos I've been leaving it at work now that I have no revision to do and can't remember my online password, so I can't see what the box in the bottom says so I might be wrong - will have another look tomorrow.)
