Answer:
Fluid received by a 2 kg kitten receives fluid intravenously at a rate of 50 mL/kg/day after 5 hours is 20.8mL
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 =[tex]\frac {50 mL}{24}[/tex] = 2.08 mL/kg/hr
[tex]\text{{After 5 hours the amount of fluid received is}} = \text{{rate at which the fluid is received per hour}}\times \text{{total hours}}[/tex]
The amount of fluid received after 5 hours =[tex]2.08\times5[/tex]
The amount of fluid received after 5 hours =10.4mL/kg
For 2kg kitten = 10.4*2 = 20.8mL
