A male client who weighs 90 kg is admitted to the emergency department with full thickness burns to 45% of his total body surface area (TBSA). The burns occurred at 1000. At 1200, the nurse uses the prescribed protocol for burns fluid resuscitation to calculate the total fluid volume for the first 24 hours. The infusion pump should be set to deliver how many mL/hour during the first 8 hours? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

Rationale: Fluid resuscitation rate using the Parkland formula: Calculate the total fluid volume needed for the first 24 hours. The Parkland formula: 4 mL × client weight (kg) × % TBSA burned. Client weight = 90 kg TBSA burned = 45% Total fluid volume = 4 mL × 90 kg × 45 = 16,200 mL Determine the amount of fluid to be given in the first 8 hours. According to the Parkland formula, half of the total fluid volume is administered in the first 8 hours from the time of the burn injury. Fluid for first 8 hours = 16,200 mL / 2 = 8,100 mL Calculate the infusion rate for the first 8 hours. The burn occurred at 1000. The nurse arrives at 1200. This means 2 hours have already passed since the burn occurred within the initial 8-hour period. Remaining time in the first 8 hours = 8 hours - 2 hours = 6 hours. Infusion rate (mL/hour) = Fluid for remaining first 8 hours / Remaining time in first 8 hours = 8,100 mL / 6 hours = 1350 mL/hour.
