Answer: 30 meq

Explanation:

We know that 1 gallon = <u>3.785 Litres</u>

1 litre = <u>1000 milliliters</u>

1 gallon = <u>3785 ml</u>

<u>Concentration = weight/volume </u>

= 565/3785

= 0.149 g/ml

= 149 mg/ml

Multiplying with 15 ml we get

= 149*15 = <u>2235 mg</u>

<u>The atomic weights of:</u>

Potassium (K) = 39

Chlorine (Cl) = 35.5

Finding the equivalent weight of Kcl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5

So, 1 equivalent of KCl is 74.5 g

= 2235 mg * 1 meq/74.5 mg = 30 meq K+

Therefore, there are 30 milliequivalents of K in 15 ml of this solution

Principles of management
oksian1 [2.3K]

<u>Behavior of Jack, the manager:</u>

Jack is the manager, he does have the authority to correct Samantha but it is also his responsibility to make Samantha comfortable. He could have explained the situation to her calmly and make her understand the problem.

He failed to some extent but he could rectify the mistake by apologizing and providing Samantha a clear explanation about how she can improve her performance. If Samantha does go to the PR and reports Jack, both of them leave the problem unsolved indicating lack of proper communication.

A manager should be able to interact well with their workers and make them see the benefits for the company and their personal interests and then invest their effort into better performance.

1) The order reads Heparin 20,000 U (units) in 500 mL sodium chloride 0.9% to infuse
zysi [14]

Answer:

According to the order, to administer 5 U/hr of the Heparin solution, 0.125 ml/hr should be administered.

Explanation:

Heparin is an anticoagulant that is administered parenterally, subcutaneously or intravenously.

If 20000 U are diluted in a 500 ml solution, to pass 5 U/hr to the patient, it must be established how many milliliters must be passed in 1 hour.

Knowing that the concentration of Heparin in the sodium chloride solution is 20000 in 500 ml, which is equivalent to 40 U/ml, the calculation is made:

40 U ------------ 1 ml

5 OR ------------ X

X = (5 X 1)/ 40

X = 0.125 ml /hr

<u>In the infusion pump, the amount of Heparin solution to be passed in 1 hour is 0.125 ml</u>.
