You are asked by the Pharmacist to add 45mEq of Ca Gluconate in an IV bag of D5% W1000ml. You have a concentrated vial of Ca Gluconate 4.4mEq/ml 50ml. How many ml of the concentrated vial needs to be added to the IV bag?

10.23

4.4mEq=1ml

1mEq= 1/4.4
45mEq= 45/4.4
=10.97 or 11ml

To find out how many milliliters of the concentrated vial of Ca Gluconate needs to be added to the IV bag, we can use the following formula:

(Desired quantity / Concentration) * Volume

In this case, the desired quantity is 45mEq of Ca Gluconate. The concentration of the concentrated vial is 4.4mEq/ml. And the volume of the concentrated vial is 50ml.

Let's substitute the values into the formula:

(45mEq / 4.4mEq/ml) * 50ml

45mEq / 4.4mEq/ml equals approximately 10.23ml.

Now we can calculate the answer:

10.23ml * 50ml = 511.5ml

Therefore, you would need to add approximately 511.5ml of the concentrated vial of Ca Gluconate to the IV bag.

To determine the number of milliliters (ml) of the concentrated Ca Gluconate vial that needs to be added to the IV bag, we first need to calculate the total amount of Ca Gluconate in milliequivalents (mEq) required.

Given:
- Ca Gluconate concentration: 4.4mEq/ml
- Ca Gluconate dose required: 45mEq

We can use the formula:

Concentration × Volume = Amount

Let's calculate the volume:

Volume = Amount / Concentration

Volume = 45mEq / 4.4mEq/ml

Dividing 45mEq by 4.4mEq/ml, we find:

Volume = 10.227 ml

Therefore, you need to add approximately 10.227 ml of the concentrated vial of Ca Gluconate to the IV bag.
