    A 50-year-old patient with 60% total body surface area (TBSA) burn and a weight of 70 kg requires fluid resuscitation. Using the Parkland formula, how much total fluid volume should be administered in the first 24 hours?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1 is to calculate the total fluid volume for the first 24 hours using the Parkland formula:. 4 mL × 70 kg × 60% = 16,800 mL. Final calculated answer is 16,800 mL.
