In a 24-hour period, a calf received several IV solutions. What is the total milliliters?

• A. 2430 mL
• B. 3430 mL
• C. 4430 mL
• D. 1430 mL

Answer: (A)

The main idea is to add up every IV solution given in a 24-hour period, making sure all volumes are in milliliters. Convert any liters to milliliters (1 L = 1000 mL) and then sum all the IV fluids administered. The total you get represents the calf’s IV fluid intake for that day. In this case, the recorded volumes total 2430 mL, so that is the total. If you saw other totals like 1430, 3430, or 4430 mL, those would require different recorded volumes for the day.
