Question

Calculate how much Restoration Solution would be required to restore a patient's blood from the "patient trial blood" back to 7.45, assuming the patient has 7.0 L of blood? How much restoration solution is required? (D7)

a) 0.45 L of Restoration Solution
b) 1.45 L of Restoration Solution
c) 2.45 L of Restoration Solution
d) 3.45 L of Restoration Solution

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of Restoration Solution required to restore a patient's blood to a pH of 7.45, we need to find the difference in pH and use the formula Volume of Restoration Solution = Volume of Blood x Difference in pH.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of Restoration Solution required to restore a patient's blood to a pH of 7.45, we need to find the difference between the current pH and the desired pH. The difference in pH is 7.45 - 7.0 = 0.45.

Since 7.0 L of blood needs to be restored, we can use this information to find the amount of Restoration Solution required. The amount of Restoration Solution needed can be calculated using the formula: Volume of Restoration Solution = Volume of Blood x Difference in pH. Substituting the values, we get: Volume of Restoration Solution = 7.0 L x 0.45 = 3.15 L. So, the correct answer is Option d) 3.45 L of Restoration Solution.
