client who suffered burn injuries to their face and entire left arm is to receive lactated ringers. The client weighs 73 kg. How much fluid will be infused for the first 8 hours? (Round to the nearest whole number).
The Correct Answer is ["1971"]
Face: 4.5%
Left arm: 9%
Total TBSA = 4.5 + 9 = 13.5%
Fluid needed in 24 hours = 4 mL × 73 kg × 13.5 = 3942 mL (rounded)
Half of this is given in the first 8 hours: 3942 ÷ 2 = 1971 mL
