a. The maximum safe fluid rate for Chloe can be calculated using the AAHA Fluid Standards, which state that feline patients should never receive more than 2-3 ml/kg/h. Using the higher end of this range (3 ml/kg/h) for a 4.0 kg cat, the maximum safe fluid rate would be 3 ml/kg/h * 4.0 kg = 12 ml/h. The volume for 2 days (48 hours) would be 12 ml/h * 48 h = 576 ml. b. The fluid rate and VTBI (Volume To Be Infused) as prescribed by the DVM would be the same as the maximum safe fluid rate and volume calculated above, assuming the DVM wants to use the highest end maintenance rate. So, the fluid rate would be 12 ml/h and the VTBI would be 576 ml. c. The drip rate can be calculated using the formula: (Fluid Rate (ml/h) / 60) * Drip Factor (gtt/ml). So, (12 ml/h / 60) * 60 gtt/ml = 12 gtt/min. d. Yes, the fluid rate (12 ml/h) and VTBI (576 ml) are within the acceptable range based on the AAHA Fluid Standards, which state that feline patients should never receive more than 2-3 ml/kg/h. e. A 1L (1000 ml) bag would
