Answer 3

3.  Choice A is the correct answer.  The patient has 36% TBSA burns.  She weighs 110 kg.  So this applied to the Parkland Formula you get 4 x 110 kg x 36 =  15, 840 mL  for the first 24 hours.  Divide this by 2 and this gives you 7920 mL for the first 8 hours.  When you divide 7920/8 you get the correct answer of 990 mL/hr.
