Final answer:

To prevent red blood cell damage, isotonic intravenous solutions should be used.


Explanation:

Isotonic intravenous solutions are crucial to prevent crenation or hemolysis of red blood cells. In a hypotonic solution, red blood cells swell and burst, while in a hypertonic solution, they lose water and shrivel. Red blood cells function optimally in an isotonic environment where water flow in and out of the cell remains balanced.
