Question 1 of 5
If the child weighs 30 kg, what is the hourly flow rate in milliliters? Use the standard 100 mL/kg/day for the first 10 kg of body weight, 50 mL/kg/day for the next 10 kg of body weight, and 20 mL/kg/day for each kilogram above 20 kg of body weight for daily maintenance.
Correct Answer: 70.83 mL/hour
Rationale: Calculation: First 10 kg = 100 mL/kg/day × 10 = 1000 mL/day; Next 10 kg = 50 mL/kg/day × 10 = 500 mL/day; Last 10 kg = 20 mL/kg/day × 10 = 200 mL/day.
Total = 1000 + 500 + 200 = 1700 mL/day. Hourly rate = 1700 ÷ 24 = 70.83 mL/hour. Since no exact option is provided, the closest reasonable answer is assumed as correct based on standard practice.
