What is the approximate volume of blood plasma in a lean 60-kg male? In a lean 60-kg female? (Note: One liter of body fluid has a mass of 1 kilogram.)

JH, a 53 year-old female, had not been feeling well lately and suddenly started to feel acutely worse. She started to have shortness of breath, and was experiencing an irregular heartbeat, chest pain, muscle weakness, and feelings of severe nausea. She called 911 and was taken to the hospital where blood samples were drawn. The following table summarizes the results of her bloodwork (Table 1) Table 1: JH ion concentrations at intake (blood). lon Plasma concentration - measured (mM) Plasma concentration - normal (mM) K+ 8 5 Na+ 142 142 Cl- 105 105 Ca2+ 2.5 2.5 JH was diagnosed with hyperkalemia and ordered IV fluids. The IV fluids she was given contained calcium gluconate and insulin. Her potassium levels were monitored over a 24-hour period and were as summarized in Table 2. Table 2.
