    There are different types of IV solutions that can be administered to patients, but some carry risks of toxicity if too much is given or if the patient has certain medical conditions. The most common IV solutions are normal saline and lactated Ringer's solution, which are generally safe but can cause issues in very large volumes. Dextrose solutions provide calories but in high amounts can lead to hyperglycemia or hyponatremia. Close monitoring is important when giving IV fluids to avoid potential complications.
