Question

You received this Physician’s order: Give 600 mL D5W to patient. Calculate the metric weight (in grams) if the dextrose in this fluid bag.

Answer 1

30 gr

Explanation:30 gr

Each 100 ml contains 5 g of glucose in 5% dextrose, so if 100 ml has 5 g then 600 ml how many grams does it have?

100 ml------5 gr

600 ml---- X

X = 600 ml x 5 gr / 100 ml

X= 30 gr
