Answer #1

When potassium level is 3.5 mEq/L. An infusion of 10mEq/hr of KCL is the recommended dose for prevention of hypokalemia and maintaining it.

So this 10mEq will be transfused in an hour

Volume:100ml

Time:1hr=60min

Drop factor:15gtt/ml (standard)

Flow rate=Total volume (ml)/Time (min)*drop factor (gtt/ml)

=(100/60)*15

=1.6*15

=25

Ans:This medication has to be infused at 25 drops /min because faster administration will be fatal causing immediate cardiac arrest and death.
