Question 1 of 5
A nurse is monitoring a client who was admitted with a severe burn injury and is receiving IV fluid resuscitation therapy. The nurse should identify a decrease in which of the following findings as an indication of adequate fluid replacement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Heart rate. A decrease in heart rate indicates adequate fluid replacement in a burn-injured patient due to improved cardiac output and perfusion. When fluid resuscitation is effective, the heart doesn't need to work as hard to maintain circulation. Blood pressure (choice
A) may fluctuate initially but is not a reliable indicator of fluid replacement alone. Urine output (choice
C) is important but may take time to stabilize. Respiratory rate (choice
D) may be affected by pain or stress, not solely fluid status. Other choices are not relevant.
