Hey everyone, I'm a nursing student and I was preplanning on a patient and I need a little help with his IVF's. I have a patient with acute pancreatitis and he is on normal saline with 20 kcl at 50ml/hr. My questions are: 1. Which type of fluid is this? I know NS is isotonic does adding the kcl change it? 2. Why would my patient be getting this fluid if his potassium has been normal the whole admission. Would it be preventive because he is on Lasix?
