Chapter 5.1, Problem 10CC
(a)
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the administration of 5% dextrose in water or 0.9% NaCl in water would help the patient and the reason for this.
Introduction: The number of particles in a solution is termed as osmolarity. Tonicity is used to define a solution and how the solution would affect cell volume if the cell were placed in the solution and allowed to reach equilibrium.
(b)
Summary Introduction
To determine: The volume of administered solution to return blood volume to normal.
Introduction: The total body fluid is divided into two compartments: intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid.

A patient receives an intravenous (IV) solution that flows at the rate of 150 mL per hour.
How much fluid does the patient receive in 20. min? (Answer = 50 mL)
How long does it take for the patient to receive 90. mL of fluid? (Ans. = 0.6 hr or 36 min.)
If the IV bag holds 600. mL of fluid, how many minutes does it take to empty the bag? (t = 4 hrs)
If the solution contains 90. mg of glucose per mL, how long will it take to give the patient 2.0 g of glucose? (t = 0.15 hr or 9 min)
If an accident victim loses 1 L of blood, why would an intravenous infusion of a liter of plasma be more effective for replacing the lost volume than infusing a liter of an equally concentrated crystalloid (e.g., sodium chloride) solution?
A patient needs to receive 1 L of 0.9% NaCl solution over
8 hours. You have an infusion pump that delivers fluids
in mL/hour.
a. How many mL of the solution will the patient receive
per hour?
b. If the IV tubing being used delivers 20 drops/mL,
how many drops per minute should the IV be set to
deliver?
