    A 176-lb (80-kg) man with a 30% burn should receive a minimum of 2,400 ml of fluid replacement in the first 8 hours

    The answer is option b. 2,400 ml

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Determine total minimum ml per percentage of burn

    Minimum ml per kg=2 ml

    The man is 80 kg

    Total minimum ml to be administered per percentage of burn=minimum ml per kg*weight of the man

    replacing;

    Total minimum ml to be administered = 2*80=160 ml per percentage

    Step 2: Determine total minimum ml in the first 24 hours

    This can be expressed as;

    Total minimum ml to be administered=Total minimum ml to be administered per percentage of burn*percentage of burn

    where;

    Total minimum ml to be administered per percentage of burn=160 ml per percentage of burn

    percentage of burn=30%

    replacing;

    Total minimum ml to be administered in the first 24 hours=160*30=4,800 ml

    Step 2: Determine total minimum ml in the first 8 hours

    total minimum ml to be administered in the first 8 hours=50%*4,800

    (50/100) * 4,800=2,400 ml

    A 176-lb (80-kg) man with a 30% burn should receive a minimum of 2,400 ml of fluid replacement in the first 8 hours
