Arough guide to fluid requirements based on body weight is 100ml/kg for the first 10kg of body weight, 50ml/kg for the next 10kg, and 20ml/kg for weight over 20kg. what volume of fluid per day is needed by a 55kg woman? give answer to 2 significant figures

Given, weight of the woman = 55 kg

For the first 10 kg, fluid required is 100 mL/kg

So for the first 10 kg volume of fluid required is 100 ml/kg  x 10 kg = 1000 ml = 1 L

For the second 10 kg, fluid required is 50 mL/kg

So for the second 10 kg volume of fluid required is 50 ml/kg x 10 kg = 500 ml = 0.5 L

For the remaining (55 kg - 20 kg ) or 35 kg, fluid required is 20mL/kg

Now for the the remaining 35 kg  volume of fluid required is 20 ml/kg x 35 kg = 700 ml = 0.7 L

The total volume of fluid per day required by a 55 kg woman = 1L + 0.5L + 0.7L = 2.2 L
