<prompt> Which intravenous fluid contains maximum potassium and is the preferred fluid for the treatment of hypokalemia?Ringer lactateIsolyte-PIsotonic salineIsolyte-M  <response>: Ans. D. Isolyte -MIsolyte-M has the maximum potassium 35 mEqL content and is very useful to treat hypokalemia provided the renal status is normal.Sodium concentration of various intravenous fluidsIntravenous fluidsIsotonic salineRingers lactate0.45 salineIsotyte-GIsolyte-MIsolyte-PNamqL154130.0776340253NaCl2ml1mEqNa,7.5NaHCO3 10ml9mEqNa Potassium concentration of intravenous fluidsIntravenous fluids Isolyte-MIsolyte-PIsolyte-GRingerslactateKCl 15 AmpKmEqL35.020.017.04.020mEq10ml Characteristics of intravenous fluidsCharacteristicIntravenous fluidsCharacteristicIntravenous fluidsMost physiologicalRLGlucose freeSaline.
