Your patient has lost lots of blood. What is the most desirable fluid replacement?
  1. Plasmanate
  2. Isotonic Crystalloid
  3. Whole Blood
  4. Platelets
Explanation
Answer - C - When there has been a high amount of blood lost, whole blood is the most desirable. It contains hemoglobin and other essential proteins. However, this is not practical in the pre-hospital setting. Plasmanate would be the next choice, but in the field, the choice would be isotonic crystalloid.
