Are we supposed to know the details of calculations in fluid & electrolyte imbalance following dehyration in children??

There are some calculations mentioned in kaplan Pediatrics, i have an idea of how thats done, but in the exam do we have that much time??

For those done with the exam, has this topic been tested???

PLEASE HELP!!

I wasn't asked about that topic but I got a bunch of questions about winter's formula applications. Wait for more input though...

Good luck

I didn't get any questions on calculation of fluid and electrolyte deficit in my exam.
After trying very hard to understand and apply those calculations, I started to realize those kind of questions are quite impossible to be finished on time. I decided to give up and not to give them my precious exam time even if they show up in exam.
Fortunately, I got none in real exam.

not on my exam either. I was kind of worrying about it before my exam but I did not get time to review that part.
