Replacement of daily losses should be handled using the fluid solution that has the following composition in mEqL.ABCD  <response>: The composition of small intestinal fluid issodium, 140 mEqL; potassium, 5 mEqL; chlo-ride, 104 mEqL; and bicarbonate, 30 mEqL. Daily losses are best replaced by administra-tion of balanced salt solution Ringers lactate whose composition is depicted in A. Brepre-sents normal saline 0.9, C is half normal saline 0.45, D is M6 sodium lactate, and E is 3 sodium chloride.
