Question
You are administering a 5% dextrose in water solution to your patient to replace lost fluids and provide carbohydrates to the body. Choose all of the following that would produce a 5% dextrose solution for your patient.SELECT ALL THAT APPLY10g/100 ml5g/L5g/100 ml10g/L50g/L500g/L
Solution
The correct options to produce a 5% dextrose solution would be:
- 5g/100 ml
- 50g/L
Here's why:
- A 5% solution means there are 5 grams of a solute (in this case, dextrose) in every 100 milliliters of solution. So, 5g/100 ml is correct.
- Since 1 liter (L) is equal to 1000 milliliters (ml), a 5% solution would also mean there are 50 grams of dextrose in every 1 liter of solution. So, 50g/L is also correct.
The other options (10g/100 ml, 5g/L, 10g/L, 500g/L) would not produce a 5% dextrose solution.
