Expert Solution

Answer: 1.11 liters

The patient is getting 0.45% NaCl which means 0.45 gm of NaCl dissolved in 100 ml of solution.

The patie needs 5gm of NaCl .

So, 0.45gm of NaCl is received from 100 ml of solution

1 gm of Nacl is received from 100/0.45 ml

5 gm of NaCl will receive from (100/0.45)×5 = 1111.11 ml = 1.11 liter.

TOTAL SOLUTION NEEDS TO BE INFUSED = 1.11 Liters
