Calculations Including Milliosmoles potassium 51. At 3:00 PM., a pharmacist received an order to add 30 mEq/L of medication order, the pharmacist found that the patient is receiving a 5% dex- chloride to the already running intravenous fluid for a patient. After checking the trose/0.9% sodium chloride infusion at a rate of 85 mL/h and that the liter of fluid was started at 1:30 PM." patient's (a) Assuming that it took 30 minutes to provide the needed potassium chloride have been added to the patient's running IV fluid to achieve the ordered to the floor nurse, how many milliequivalents of potassium chloride should concentration? (b) How many milliliters of an injection containing 2 mEq of potassium chlo- ride/mL should have been used to supply the amount of potassium chlorid needed? (c) What was the osmolarity of the infusion with the potassium chlorid added? Assume complete dissociation of the sodium chloride and chloride. potassiu
