Question 16 The doctor orders a sliding scale of potassium chloride administration (KCL) If the potassium (K) level is above 4 mEq, do not administer KCL. If K level is 3.8 to 4 mEq, administer 10 mEq of KCL added to 100 mL NS infused over 1 hour. If K level is 3.6 to 3.8 mEq, administer 20 mEq of KCL added to 200 mL of NS infused over 2 hours. If K level is below 3.6 administer 40 mEq of KCL added to 500 mL of NS infused over 4 hours. If the K level is 3.2 mEq, Calculate the flow rate in mL/hr. administer? a. 110 mL/hr b. 120 ml/hr c. 25 mL/hr d. 125 ml/hr e. 100 ml/hr
