An intravenous electrolyte solution has a Na+ ion concentration of 154 mEq/L. If a patient in the hospital receives 1500 mL if this solution how many equivalents have they received?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Na+ ion concentration is =154mEq/L  

                                        = 154*10-3 Eq/L

154*10-3 Eq/L means 1000ml of solution contains 154*10-3 Eq ( equalents)

1000ml of solution contains 154*10-3 Eq ( equalents)

1500ml of solution contains = 154*10-3 *1500/1000

                                              = 0.231Eq equalents >>>> answer

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...
