Summary Introduction
To determine: The concentration of Ca2+ in mEq/L if its average plasma concentration is 2.5 mmol/L.
Introduction: Molarity is defined as the number of moles of a solute in one liter of solution. Normality is the number of gram equivalents in one liter solution. Molarity and normality are used to quantify the concentration of any solute. The number of

A normal saline solution (0.9 mg of sodium chloride per 100 ml of solution) is given intravenously and a total of 0.5 L of the solution was given over a 4 hour period.
What is the flow rate in units of milliliter per hour?.
What is the flow rate in units of mg ( of sodium chloride) per hour?.
During 4 hour period how much sodium chloride is delivered?
Is 100/60 mmhg a normal blood pressure or low blood pressure (hypotension) ? Please explain.
Using the normal arterial blood gas values (pH = 7.35-7.45; Paco2 = 35-45 mm Hg; HCO3- = 22-26 mEq/L), identify both the primary disturbance and the degree of compensation for these three arterial blood gas readings:
(a) pH = 7.20
(b) pH = 7.20 (c) pH = 7.36 Paco2 = 35 mm Hg Paco2 = 25 mm Hg Paco2 = 20 mm Hg [HCO3-] = 17 mEq/L [HCO3-] = 17 mEq/L [HCO3-] = 17 mEq/L
