Orders:
Kphos 30 mmol in 100 mL NS over 4 hours via central line
KCl 40 mEq in 100 mL NS over 2 hours via central line
Mg gluconate in 9 g in 500 mL NS over 9 hours via central line
Solutions:
K - 80mEq
Phos - (0.32 x 86kg) = 27.52 or 30 mmol
Mg - (0.1 x 86kg) = 8.6g or 9g
Calcium corrected Ca - or ionized level = 8.1 + [{4-2.6} x 0.8] = 9.22
