Answer to Question 1

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.

Answer to Question 2

540
Caloric needs are calculated by using the equation 120 kcal/kg/day. 120 kcal x 4.5 kg = 540 kcal/day.
