case_images: Serum potassium concentration and the effect of using distilled water as a
  diluent for the concentrated intravenous solution of potassium chloride. (a)
  Timescale graph showing stabilized and normalized potassium concentration
  when diluting concentrated intravenous potassium chloride with distilled
  water after it was diluted with oral rehydration solution (ORS). (b) The
  mean serum concentration of potassium was significantly higher when
  concentrated intravenous potassium chloride was diluted in distilled water
  compared to concentrated intravenous potassium chloride diluted in the oral
  rehydration solution (ORS).. The dashed line represents minimum normal concentration. Data presented as
  mean +- SEM. Significance presented as *p   0.05 analysed
  through paired Student's t-test (CI = 95%).

  diluent for the concentrated intravenous solution of potassium chloride. (a)
  Timescale graph showing stabilized and normalized chloride concentration
  when diluting concentrated intravenous potassium chloride with distilled
  water after it was diluted with oral rehydration solution (ORS). (b) The
  mean serum concentration of chloride was significantly higher when
  concentrated intravenous potassium chloride was diluted in distilled water
  when compared with concentrated intravenous potassium chloride diluted in
  ORS. The dashed line represents minimum normal concentration.. Data presented as mean +- SEM. Significance presented as ** p

case_images: Moreover, using distilled water as a diluent for IV concentrated KCl showed less fluctuation in serum chloride concentration (Figure 2(a)) accompanied by a significant increase (p = 0.004) in chloride concentration, as shown in Figure 2(b).
case_images: Serum sodium concentration and the effect of using distilled water as a
  diluent for the concentrated intravenous solution of potassium chloride. (a)
  Timescale graph showing stabilized and normalized sodium concentration when
  diluting concentrated intravenous potassium chloride with distilled water
  after it was diluted with oral rehydration solution (ORS). (b) The mean
  serum concentration of sodium did not show significant difference when
  concentrated intravenous potassium chloride was diluted in distilled water
  when compared with concentrated intravenous potassium chloride diluted in
  ORS. The dash-line represents minimum normal concentration.. Data presented as mean +- SEM analysed through paired Student's t-test (CI =
  95%). Normalized potassium, chloride, and sodium concentrations culminated
  in recovery and patient discharge from the hospital. The mother of the
  patient was counselled to prepare KCl IV solution for oral
  administration.
