Final answer:
The patient is receiving a total of 150g of dextrose daily.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the total amount of dextrose the patient is receiving daily, we need to find the amount of dextrose in 3000 ml of the solution. The solution contains 5g of dextrose per 100ml of solution.
To find the amount of dextrose in 3000ml, we can set up a proportion:
5g/100ml = x/3000ml
Cross multiplying, we get: 5g * 3000ml = 100ml * x, which simplifies to 15000g = 100ml * x. Solving for x, we divide both sides by 100ml:
x = 15000g / 100ml = 150g
Therefore, the patient is receiving a total of 150g of dextrose daily.
