Answer 1

26 -

I will add 10 ml KCL ( 1 ml KCL  = 2 mEq so 10 x 2 = 20 )

The bag will last about 8 hours

For one day I need 3 bags ( 24 / 8 = 3 )

Weight of dextrose in each bag is 50 g in 1000 ml bag

Infusion rate = 125 ml / hr (1000 / 8 = 125 )

27 -

I will add 2 ml of gentamycin (1 ml = 40 mg so 40 x 2 = 80)

Bag will last for 8 hrs

For one day iI will set up 3 bags  

Infusion rate in ml = 12.5 ml / hr ( 100 / 8 = 12.5 )

Gtts / min = 2.083 gtts / min (12.5 x 10 / 60 = 2.083)

28 -

I will spend up a total of 3 doses ( 24 / 3 = 3 )

I will add 0.5 ml to each bag (1 ml = 1000 mg ie 1 gram 1 / 2 = 0.5)

I need a total of 1.5 vials / day

29 -

I will spend up a total of 4 doses/day ( 24 / 6 = 4 )

From 1 ml = 500 mg vial I add 0.5 ml per bag and from 1ml = 1g vial I add 0.25 ml per bag

In the case of 1 gram vial, I will use 1 vial per day, on the other hand, I will use 2 vials of 500 mg vial per day

30 -

From 500 mg / 1 ml vial I will add 1 ml to each bag, whereas from 1 g / ml vial I will add 0.5 ml to each bag

IV rate would be 200 ml/hr

Each bag will last for 30 minutes
