Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale 1: mL/dose = 15 mL/20 mEq x 60 mEq/1 dose. Multiply the numerators (15 x 60= 900). Multiply the denominators (20 x 1 = 20). 900/20 = 45 mL/dose.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale 1: mL/day = 1 mL/0.8mEq x 5.6 mEq/day. Multiply the numerators (1.x 5.6= 5.6). Multiply the denominators (0.8 x 1 = 0.8). 5.6/0.8= 7 mL/day.

Answer to Question 3

6000 mg
6000
