Answer 1

To determine if an IV bag containing 0.5% KCl is available, calculate the amount of KCl in the solution by converting the percentage to a decimal and multiplying it by the volume of the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, the physician orders an intravenous (IV) delivery of 100 mL of 0.5% KCl for a patient with hypokalemia. In order to determine if an IV bag containing this concentration of KCI is available, we need to calculate the amount of KCl in the solution.

1. First, convert 0.5% to a decimal by dividing it by 100: 0.5/100 = 0.005.
2. Next, multiply the decimal by the volume of the solution: 0.005 * 100 mL = 0.5 mL.

Therefore, an aide would not find an IV bag containing this concentration of KCl, as the required amount is 0.5 mL.
