If you have an order for 45 mEq of NaCl and your stock is 4mEq/mL. How many mL will be added to bag?

Setup a ratio:


4mEq/1ml = 45mEq/Xml





Solve for Xml


1ml * 45mEq = 4mEq * Xml


Xml = (1ml * 45mEq) / 4mEq


Xml = 11.25mlIf you have an order for 45 mEq of NaCl and your stock is 4mEq/mL. How many mL will be added to bag?
daddyrx has it correct.
