Potassium chloride liquid is available in vials of 20 mEq/15mL concentration. The patient needs 50 mEq two times a day. Compute for the amount of potassium chloride needed per dose in milliliters. Amount of Potassium chloride in milliliters for every dose = How many vial/s is/are needed for the patient in a day? =
Use Factor Method in solving the problems:
Step 1. Using the following equation, determine the factor that defines the multiple or the decimal fraction of the amount of formula to be prepared:
Quantity of formula desired/Quantity of formula given = Factor
A factor greater than 1 represents the multiple of the formula, and a factor less than 1 indicates the fraction of the formula to be prepared.
Step 2. Multiply the quantity of each ingredient in the formula by the factor to determine the amount of each ingredient required in the reduced or enlarged formula.
1. Potassium chloride liquid is available in vials of 20 mEq/15mL concentration. The patient needs 50 mEq two times a day. Compute for the amount of potassium chloride needed per dose in milliliters.
Amount of Potassium chloride in milliliters for every dose =
How many vial/s is/are needed for the patient in a day? =
*Note: Give your final answer in 2 decimal places. Indicate the unit.
