An order for an intravenous solution (IV) is written as follows:
Dextrose (anhydrous) 2.5% (E = 0.18)
KCl 1.49 g (E = 0.76)
NaCl q.s.
Sterile Water for Injection (SWI) q.s. ad 500 mL
Which of the following best describes this solution?
Place either A, B, or C as the answer. This solution is:
A. Hypotonic
B. Isotonic
C. Hypertonic
How is this determined?
Answer: It is Hypotonic solution.
The Hypotonic solution has the lower osmotic pressure as compared to the other fluids such as body fluids. This solution is Hypotonic as it is non pyrogenic, IV solution with KCL and Nacl are sterile solution.
