Answer: C.) 2L
Explanation:
Given the question :
A two-year-old weighing 25.2 lb is admitted to the hospital with fever and diarrhea. Normally the child weighs 29.6 lb. How much fluid (in liters) needs to be replaced in the child's system?
Normal body weight if the baby = 29.6lb (pounds)
Weight of baby die to fever and diarrhea = 25.2lb(pounds)
Weight loss due to diarrhea and fever :
(29.6 - 25.2)lb = 4.4 lb
Amount of fluid needed to be replaced in litres = weight loss due to sickness
Then we need to convert 4.4lbs to Litre (L)
1 pound (lb) = 0.45359 liter (l)
4.4 lb = (4.4 * 0.45359) L
= 1.995796 L
= 2L
