Example
- Salt: potassium or sodium phosphates
- Potassium phosphates
- Age band
- 12 years and older
- Actual body weight
- 70
- Weight unit
- kg
- Phosphorus ordered
- 30
- Dose unit
- mmol of phosphorus
- Final volume
- 250 mL
- Infusion time
- 4 hours
- Line: peripheral or central venous catheter
- Central venous catheter
- Serum phosphorus
- 1.4 mg/dL
- Serum potassium
- 3.6 mEq/L
Result: 30 mmol of phosphorus as 10 mL of potassium phosphates, with 44 mEq of potassium: nothing above the label rows checked.
