Answer 1

HEY MATE_______

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER______

============================
Large volume parenterals or LVPs (sometimes called large volume injections) are aqueous solutions usually supplied in volumes of at least 100 ml with sizes of 250 ml, 500 ml, 1000 ml, 3000 ml, and 5000 ml most common. Directions usually recommend that large quantities be administered. The usual route of administration is intravenous (IV) but other routes, such as intraperitoneal (IP) or subcutaneous (SQ or SC), are sometimes recommended. Examples of LVPs include:


Calcium solutions

1) Sodium chloride, Ringer's, sodium bicarbonate and other electrolyte solutions

2) Dextrose (glucose) and other sugar solutions

3) Amino acid, peptide and other protein-fraction solutions

4) Solutions containing a combination of the above, sometimes with vitamins added

5) Dextrans, and other plasma expanders
