Hi, I recently learned about K Riders and we had a simulation involving a patient with 1 L 0.9 NaCl with 20 meq KCL at an 8 hour rate. I do not understand how an order of 40 mEq in 250 mL over 4 hours equates to 67.5 mL. From my understand, the maximum potassium you can administer is 10 mEq per hour. And that 20 mEq of "extra" potassium was added to the 250 mL to make 270 mL. But why?
