A nurse is calculating the daily maintenance fluid requirement for a child who weighs 40 kg. Using the pediatric maintenance fluid formula, what is the total daily fluid requirement in milliliters for this child?

Identify the child's weight and the standard maintenance fluid (Holiday-Segar) formula Weight: 40 kg Formula: For the first 10 kg: 100 mL/kg For the next 10 kg (11-20 kg): 50 mL/kg For each kg over 20 kg: 20 mL/kg Calculate the volume for the first 10 kg 10 kg * 100 mL/kg = 1,000 mL Calculate the volume for the next 10 kg (11-20 kg) 10 kg * 50 mL/kg = 500 mL Calculate the volume for the remaining weight (40 kg - 20 kg = 20 kg) 20 kg * 20 mL/kg = 400 mL Calculate the total daily maintenance volume Total Volume = 1,000 mL + 500 mL + 400 mL = 1,900 mL
