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?
