Question

Fluid requirements for daily maintenance:

____ml/kg for 1st 10kg
____ml/kg for next 10kg
____ml/kg for remaining kg

a) 1000, 500, 250
b) 100, 50, 25
c) 1500, 750, 500
d) 2000, 1000, 500

Answer 1

The fluid requirements for daily maintenance are 100 mL/kg for the first 10 kg, 50 mL/kg for the next 10 kg, and 25 mL/kg for the remaining kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fluid requirements for daily maintenance are:

1. 100 mL/kg for the first 10 kg
2. 50 mL/kg for the next 10 kg
3. 25 mL/kg for the remaining kg

For example:

If a child weighs 20 kg, the fluid requirement would be:

• 100 mL/kg x 10 kg = 1000 mL
• 50 mL/kg x 10 kg = 500 mL
• 25 mL/kg x 0 kg = 0 mL

So the total fluid requirement would be 1000 mL + 500 mL + 0 mL = 1500 mL.
