A healthy male presents with altered mental status and this wasattributed to his [Na+ ] being 108 mEq/L. To return the patient tonormal Na+ levels, how much of a 5 wt% NaCl solution must beadministered? (Normal plasma Na+ concentration = 140 mEq/L;molecular weight of NaCl is 58; 5 wt% NaCl = 5g/100mL)
Total Body Water = 42L
Extracellular Fluid = 14L
Osmolarity = 300mOsmoles/L
Intracellular Fluid = 28L
