Could anyone answer this for me?

Here's a drug calculation question I had in a recent test. Just want to see what you all think the answer is?

Dextrose (Glucose) 5% is being transfused, the patient has had 370mls of the 1 litre, how much glucose have they had?

Anyone?

Eeerrrrrrrmmmmmmm, just thinking!!!

5% of 370mls?

Erm...

twelvety million?

Purple??

Is it 54ml ?

I think you may have just killed someone Bodhi!

But at least they're purple, a colour I love!!!!

Nova - Anything yet?

D85 - Not the answer I got, could you give me the calcs to your answer?

God I'm a proper brain picker tonight ain't I!

Is it 18.5 ml?

Ah now that's what I got, but this is the answer I got from a lecturer....

"Think about the question and read it carefully what are you trying to find out ? should it be mls? or something else?"



As far as I'm concerned the question doesn't specific volume/quantity? (ie mls/%)

Is it just me or have I missed something?

Still thinking ...............forgot the question!

It's because I'm talking utter rubbish and it's in grams!

1.85 g

(And I should know better, tut!)

Amended to say it should be 18.5 g. Arghghghgh!!!!

Is it?

How's that then?

Grms isn't mentioned in the question and it seems to be measured in liquid form? Ie in saline.
