A 6-year-old patient weighs 17kg. What is the appropriate daily fluid intake for this patient?

Rationale: Daily fluid requirements are calculated using the Holliday-Segar method: First 10 kg = 100 mL/kg → 10 × 100 = 1000 mL Next 7 kg = 50 mL/kg → 7 × 50 = 350 mL Total = 1000 + 350 = 1350 mL/day. Therefore, the appropriate daily fluid intake for a 17-kg child is 1350 mL.
