A patient needs to be given exactly 500 mL of a 5.0% (w/v)intravenous glucose solution. The stock solution is 65% (w/v). Howmany milliliters of the stock solution are needed to prepare thefluid for the IV bag?
Which equation will determine how much water is needed toprepare the 5.0% (w/v) glucose solution?
a.) Volume of stock solution needed Volume given to patient (500mL)
b.) Volume given to patient (500 mL) / Volume of stock solutionneeded
c.) Volume of stock solution needed / Volume given to patient(500 mL)
d.) Volume given to patient (500 mL) – Volume of stock solutionneeded
