Just follow the rubric
Based on the nursing assessment, the client has a total burn percentage of 22.5% (4.5% face, 9% arm, 9% anterior chest). Superficial burns are not calculated as part of fluid resuscitation. Therefore, 4 mL x 67.2 kg x 22.5% equals a total fluid volume of 6,048 mL needed for the client based on the Parkland formula. The first half of the fluid should be administered over 8 hours, while the next half should be administered over 16 hours. The total amount given in the first eight hours is 3024 mL. For the second half, the nurse should set the pump for 189 mL/hr.
