Question

calculate the 24 - hour maintenance fluid for a child who weighs 10kg.
round to the whole number.
answer:
check

Explanation:

Step1: Use the formula for maintenance fluid

For children, the formula for 24 - hour maintenance fluid is \(100\space mL/kg\) for the first \(10\space kg\) of body weight.
The child weighs \(10\space kg\).

Step2: Calculate the fluid volume

We multiply the weight of the child (\(10\space kg\)) by the rate (\(100\space mL/kg\)).
So, the fluid volume \(V=10\times100\space mL\).

Answer:

\(1000\)
