A patient is receiving an intravenous infusion containing 35 mEq KCL and there is 150 mL remaining in the IV bag.

What's the amount of fluid infused?

Expert Solution

SOLUTION

30 mEq to 40mEq KCL is always infused in 1000 ml NS or D5%NS.

According to the question,150 ml of fluid is left in the IV bag. So,

The total amount of fluid - The remaining amount of fluid = The amount of fluid that has been infused to the patient

1000 ml - 150 ml = 850 ml

That means 850 ml of fluid has been infused to the patient.

A patient is receiving an intravenous infusion containing 40 mEq of potassium chloride in 1000 mL of dextrose 5% in half–normal saline. The infusion has been running at a rate of 80 mL/h for the past 6.5 hours. Following a lab report showing the patient’s serum potassium level to be 3.5 mEq/L, the physician decides to increase the potassium dose while slowing the infusion flow rate to 40 mL/h. The physician prescribes potassium chloride injection (14.9% KCl) to be added...
