Question

completion

1. the nurse is admitting a patient with burns over 30% of total body surface area (tbsa) and who weighs 70 kg. using the parkland formula, calculate the volume of lactated ringers solution that the nursing staff will administer during the first 24 hours.

ans:
8400 ml
the parkland formula states that patients should receive 4 ml/kg/%tbsa burned during the first 24 hours.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula components

The Parkland formula is \( Volume = 4\space mL/kg/\%TBSA\times weight(kg)\times\%TBSA\). Here, \( weight = 70\space kg\) and \(\%TBSA = 30\%\).

Step2: Substitute values into the formula

Substitute the values into the formula: \( Volume=4\times70\times30\).

Step3: Calculate the result

First, calculate \(4\times70 = 280\), then \(280\times30=8400\space mL\).

Answer:

\(8400\space mL\)
