Answer 2

Fluid received by a 2 kg kitten receives fluid intravenously at a rate of 50 mL/kg/day after 5 hours is 20.8mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of the kitten= 2 kg

The rate at which the fluid is received= 50 mL/kg/day

To Find:

Amount of fluid received after 5 hours=?

Solution:

For 1kg kitten ,the rate at which the fluid is received is 50mL/kg/day

So, for 1hour the rate is =
`\frac {50 mL}{24}` = 2.08 mL/kg/hr

`\text{{After 5 hours the amount of fluid received is}} = \text{{rate at which the fluid is received per hour}}* \text{{total hours}}`

The amount of fluid received after 5 hours =
`2.08*5`

The amount of fluid received after 5 hours =10.4mL/kg

For 2kg kitten = 10.4*2 = 20.8mL
