IV fluids -- sm
Subject: IV fluids -- sm

How would you write the following:


1.  "placed on D5 and a 1/2-normal saline at maintenance and a quarter."


2.  and then later she says:  "IV fluids, D5 and a 1/2 with 20 of KCl per liter"


These fractions confuse me.  I assume the 1/2 goes with the normal saline in the first instance and maybe the "normal saline" is implied in the second instance, but how do I express these fractions?  Did I do the "quarter" right in the first instance?
