A D5NS solution is NaCl 0.9% w/v supplemented with 5 % w/v dextrose. A patient was ordered 1 liter of D5NS with 20 mEq KCl for dehydration. How many milliosmols are in 100 mL of this fluid? MW: dextrose =198, Na=23, K=39, Cl=35.5)

D5 ¼ NS (5% dextrose with .225% sodium chloride) is an IV solution commonly used "in the field" for resuscitation purposes particularly when a lot of fluid is needed such as in hypovolemic shock. MW of dextrose = 180 and MW of NaCl = 58). NS or normal saline is 0.9% sodium chloride What is the overall osmolarity of this very common IV solution?

D5-0.45NS with KCl 20 mEq/L is a solution commonly infused in hospitalized patients. Please determine the osmolarity. MW: dextrose = 180, Na = 23, Cl = 35.5, K = 39.

A pharmacist adds 2g of potassium chloride to 1L of D5W1/2NS solution. What is the estimate of the osmolarity (mOsm/L) of this solution assuming the final volume is 1L (MW: NaCl=58.5, KCl=74.5, Dextrose=198)?
