Question 1 of 5
A nurse is monitoring a client who was admitted with a severe burn injury and is receiving fluid resuscitation therapy. The nurse should identify a decrease in which of the following findings as an indication of adequate fluid replacement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Heart rate. A decrease in heart rate indicates adequate fluid replacement in a burn patient because it shows that the body's perfusion is improving. When fluid resuscitation is effective, the heart doesn't need to work as hard to maintain circulation. Monitoring heart rate is crucial in assessing the response to fluid therapy. Blood pressure (choice
B) can be affected by various factors and may not accurately reflect fluid status. Urine output (choice
C) is important but can be influenced by other factors. Weight (choice
D) is not an immediate indicator of fluid replacement in a burn patient.
