Question 5 of 5

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The Parkland formula is 4 ml × kg × TBSA = 24-hour fluid requirement, or 4 × 76 × 40 = 12,160 ml. Answer A is the fluid requirement for the first 8 hours after burn injury, so it's incorrect. Answer B is incorrect because it's the fluid requirement for 16 hours after burn injury. Answer D is an excessive amount given the client's weight and TBSA, so it's incorrect.
