After the nurse has identified the infant's caloric needs for the day, the nurse is concerned about how much fluid the same infant will need for the day. The infant will require ____________________ to 810 milliliters (mL) of fluid per day
Fill in the blank(s) with correct word
540
Fluid needs are calculated using the following equation: 1 to 1.5 mL per kilocalorie (kcal) per day. Because the infant requires 540 kcal per day, 540 kcal/day x 1 mL/kcal = 540 mL/day, or 540 kcal x 1.5 mL = 810 mL/day. Therefore, the infant will need between 540 and 810 mL/day.
