Answer :
Final answer:
To calculate the volume of each component required for the IV solution, we use the formula (Concentration / %) x (Total Volume). The volumes of dextrose, NaCl, and KCl for each option are calculated based on their given concentrations.
Explanation:
To calculate the volume of each component required to prepare a 1000ml bag of the IV solution, we need to calculate the amount of each component needed based on their given concentration. The volume of each component can be calculated using the formula:
Volume = (Concentration / %) x (Total Volume)
a) Volume of dextrose = (5% / 50%) x 1000 ml = 100 ml
Volume of NaCl = (0.9% / 90%) x 1000 ml = 1000 ml
Volume of KCl = (20 mEq/L / 2 mEq) x 1000 ml = 10000 ml
b) Volume of dextrose = (5% / 55%) x 1000 ml = 90.91 ml
Volume of NaCl = (0.9% / 95%) x 1000 ml = 947.37 ml
Volume of KCl = (20 mEq/L / 3 mEq) x 1000 ml = 6666.67 ml
c) Volume of dextrose = (5% / 60%) x 1000 ml = 83.33 ml
Volume of NaCl = (0.9% / 100%) x 1000 ml = 900 ml
Volume of KCl = (20 mEq/L / 4 mEq) x 1000 ml = 5000 ml
d) Volume of dextrose = (5% / 65%) x 1000 ml = 76.92 ml
Volume of NaCl = (0.9% / 105%) x 1000 ml = 857.14 ml
Volume of KCl = (20 mEq/L / 5 mEq) x 1000 ml = 4000 ml
