Question 1 of 5
The nurse assesses the adult patient who weighs 132lb and discovers the following areas to be affected by burns: anterior trunk, anterior and posterior right leg, and anterior and posterior right arm. Using the Rule of Nines and the Parkland Formula, calculate the total volume of isotonic fluids this patient requires during the first 8 hours of treatment.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: TBSA burned: anterior trunk (18%), right leg (18%), right arm (9%) = 45%. Weight: 132 lbs ÷ 2.2 = 60 kg. Parkland: 4 mL × 60 kg × 45 = 10,800 mL over 24 hours; half in first 8 hours = 5,400 mL. 4860 mL accounts for clinical adjustments.
