Answer to Question 1

C
The formula for calculating daily fluid requirements is 0 to 10 kg: 100 mL/kg/day; 10 to 20 kg: 1000 mL for the first 10 kg of body weight plus 50 mL/kg/day for each kg between 10 and 20 . To determine an hourly rate, divide the total milliliters per day by 24.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse assesses and documents an IV site at least every hour for signs and symptoms of infiltration and phlebitis. The nurse should assess a child's IV site more frequently than every 2 to 4 hours or every shift. Serious complications could occur during this time interval.
