Final answer:

The aide would not run to the supply cabinet and take out an IV bag containing 0.5% KCl concentration.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the aide would not run to the supply cabinet and take out an IV bag containing 0.5% KCl concentration for a patient suffering from hypokalemia. The concentration ordered by the physician is 0.5% KCl, which means there is 0.5 grams of potassium chloride per 100 mL of solution.

However, the concentration provided in the question is 0.5% KCl, which means there is 0.5 grams of potassium chloride per 100 mL of solution. To calculate the amount of potassium chloride in a 100 mL solution, you can use the formula: Amount of KCl (g) = Concentration (%) × Volume (mL) × Density (g/mL). In this case, the amount of KCl is 0.5 grams. Since the question asks if there is an IV bag containing this concentration, the answer is no.
