Calculate the total fluid needs (TFN) in mL/hr and convert into drops/second. List each component of the TFN in your answer.  Your patient weighs 42 kg, is 5 % dehydrated, and vomited 250 mL fluid. You will be using a 20 gtt/mL administration set. Calculate the replacement fluids (HD) – enter the number only (the units have been provided for you): HD: mL/24 hours Determine the contemporary losses (CL) – enter the number only (the units have been provided for you): CL: mL/24 hours Calculate the maintenance requirement (MR) – enter the number only (the units have been provided for you): MR: mL/24 hours Calculate the total fluid needs (TFN) – enter the number only (the units have been provided for you): TFN: mL/24 hours Calculate the fluid rate in the nearest whole drop/second: approx. gtt/ second
