1. You receive an order for a baby for Dextrose 12.5% IV
infusion @ 4.3 ml/hr.
You are going to make a 500 ml bag (it’s a common size,
even though it is much more than they need for 24
hrs).

make the bag.
It will use sterile water and dextrose 70% and pump
these into an empty IV bag. How much of each fluid will be needed?

2. Rats! The Abacus pump is not working. The technician
will have to make the bag by hand. What they have to work with:
Premade Dextrose 10% 500 ml IV bag, Dextrose 50% (in
vials).
How many ml’s of each solution will be needed? Hint: you
need to remove ___ ml from the D10 bag
first.
