The fluid requirement of the patient weighing 43lb is 1475ml.

<h3>What is fluid requirement?</h3>

Fluids are necessary for a variety of bodily processes, such as removing waste products, controlling body temperature, and delivering nutrients to the cells. A healthy adult requires, on average, one quart of water for every 50 pounds of body weight, according to Clemson State University. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, water comprises around 60% of the human body, 70% of the brain, 90% of the lungs, 75% of lean muscular tissue, 10% of body fat, 22% of bones, and 83 percent of blood.

The patient's total fluid demand, expressed as ml/24 hours, is determined by multiplying the calculated fluid requirement by the patient's bodyweight.
