You are working in the large animal ward at the hospital. you are receiving a horse that needs immediate treatment for dehydration. the vet asks you to calculate the fluid deficit for this horse. he is a 950-pound horse that is about 7% dehydrated. what is his fluid deficit?
a) 63 l
b) 15 l
c) 5 l
d) 30 l

Your answer is D) 30 L

Explanation:

(Here's the explanation that I found on a website so Dont copy). You can estimate the fluid deficit by. Body weight in kg x% dehydration = Liters needed to re-establish hydration. 950 pounds / 2.2 pounds per kilogram ( pounds cancel out) = 431.8 kg ( will round up to 432 kg) Then multiply by percent dehydrated: 432kg x 0.07 ( which 7%) = 30 Liters.

your answer is c! hope this : )
