Question

Patient receive 600 mL of D5NS. How many grams of dextrose have been supplied

Answer 1

30g

Step-by-step explanation:

KCl in D5NS is a prescription solution which is prescribed by doctors to those patients who cannot eat and drink normally.

D5NS is a fluid that contains 5% w/v dextrose or we can say that D5NS is 5g of dextrose per 100 mL of solution.

Given:

D5NS = 600mL

Dextrose supplied to the patient =
`600 * (5)/(100)`

= 30g

Hence, 30g of dextrose have been supplied to the patient.
