A 42 year old male (weight 62 kg) requires KCl supplementation due to hypokalaemia. The physician orders 40 mEq KCl to be given IV. Hospital policy recommends 10mEq/100ml as the maximum concentration and maximum administration rate of 10 mEq/hour. The pharmacy stocks KCl 20 mEq/50ml. How would you prepare the KCl solution for peripheral administration to the patient and at what rate would you instruct the nurse to administer the medication?
