Isotonicity. Show your complete solution. 1. A hospital pharmacist fills a medication order calling for an intravenous fluid of dextrose 5% in a 0.9% sodium chloride injection and 40 mEq of potassium chloride in a total volume of 1000 mL. The intravenous infusion is administered through an IV set that delivers 15 drops per milliliter. The infusion has been running at a rate of 12 drops per minute for 15 hours. During the 15-hour period: (a) How many mEq of KCl have been administered? (b) How many grams of KCl have been administered? (c) How many millimoles of KCl have been administered?
