Answer #1

D5NS 1000ml+30mEq KCL at 125 ml/hr

Means 30 meq of potassium in 1000 ml D5NS.

then

30meq = 1000ml = 0.03meq/ml

Answer - concentration of potassium in the maintenance IVF is 0.03meq/ml

Fluids run at 125 ml/hr

So, in 12-hour patients will get 1500 ml of solution.

1 ml of solution contains 0.03meq of potassium.

So,

1500ml x 0.03meq/ml = 45meq

Answer - 45 meq of potassium patient will receive in 12 hours.
