A burn-center protocol specifies the fluid and titration instructions for a patient. Which approach is most appropriate?

A
Always use lactated Ringer’s, regardless of the burn-center protocol.
B
Choose any available IV fluid because the formula determines the fluid type.
C
Use the fluid ordered under the applicable burn-center protocol; lactated Ringer’s is commonly used.
D
Use the Parkland formula to determine which fluid must be administered.

An adult weighing $60$ kg has burns involving $25\%$ TBSA. Using the 2 mL estimate, what is the starting volume for the first 24 hours?

A
$1{,}500\text{ mL}$
B
$3{,}000\text{ mL}$
C
$6{,}000\text{ mL}$
D
$7{,}500\text{ mL}$

Using the common adult target of $0.5\text{ mL/kg/hour}$ , what urine output in mL/hour is the target for an $84$ -kg adult?

Choose all

A $70$ -kg adult with a $30\%$ TBSA burn is being managed using the $2$ mL estimate. The injury occurred 3 hours ago, and $500$ mL has been given since the injury, all during the first 8-hour period. Select all steps that should be used to determine the initial rate for the rest of that period.

A
Calculate the 24-hour starting estimate: $2 \times 70 \times 30 = 4{,}200$ mL.
B
Allocate half of the estimate, $2{,}100$ mL, to the first 8 hours from the time of injury; 5 hours remain in that period.
C
Subtract the $500$ mL already given from the $2{,}100$ mL first-period amount, leaving $1{,}600$ mL.
D
Divide the remaining $1{,}600$ mL by the 5 hours left to obtain an initial rate of $320$ mL/hour.
E
Divide the entire $2{,}100$ mL first-period amount by the 5 hours left, without subtracting fluid already given.
F
Begin the first 8-hour period at hospital arrival rather than at the time of injury.

An $80$ -kg adult has a $20\%$ TBSA burn. The injury occurred 4 hours ago, and $400$ mL has been infused during the first 8-hour period. Using the 2 mL estimate, what rate in mL/hour delivers the remaining first-period amount over the 4 hours left? Round to the nearest whole number.

A $50$ -kg adult has a $20\%$ TBSA burn. Using the 2 mL estimate, what rate gives the second half of the starting 24-hour volume over the following 16 hours?

A
$62.5\text{ mL/hour}$
B
$125\text{ mL/hour}$
C
$1{,}000\text{ mL/hour}$
D
$2{,}000\text{ mL/hour}$

After an infusion-rate increase, an adult’s urine output rises well above target and edema increases. Select all appropriate responses.

A
Reassess the patient promptly.
B
Adjust the rate according to clinical response and the burn protocol.
C
Continue the calculated rate unchanged because urine output is high.
D
Continue monitoring urine output, vital signs, perfusion, respiratory status, and cumulative fluid received.
E
Assume edema alone means all resuscitation fluid must be stopped.

A $70$ -kg adult receiving burn resuscitation has a urine output of $20\text{ mL}$ in the last hour. Explain how this compares with the common adult target and describe the appropriate checks, reassessment, and next steps.

An adult has partial- and full-thickness burns involving 23% TBSA. Does the burn size meet the usual adult threshold for formal burn-shock fluid resuscitation?

A
No. Formal resuscitation is usually considered only above 25% TBSA.
B
Yes. The burn meets the usual adult threshold for formal resuscitation.
C
No. Formal resuscitation requires documented shock, regardless of burn size.

A patient arrives at the hospital 2 hours after a burn. For the initial fluid estimate, the first 8-hour period is counted from the time of injury, not from hospital arrival.

A burn assessment identifies 8% superficial burns, 7% partial-thickness burns, and 6% full-thickness burns. What percentage should be counted toward TBSA for estimating fluid needs?

A
8% TBSA
B
21% TBSA
C
13% TBSA
D
15% TBSA

Which approach to fluid selection and titration is consistent with burn-resuscitation guidance?

A
Follow the ordered fluid and titration instructions in the applicable burn-center protocol; lactated Ringer’s is commonly used.
B
Use lactated Ringer’s in every case, regardless of the applicable protocol.
C
Choose any available fluid because the initial estimate determines the fluid type.
D
Use the same fluid and rate for every patient until the first 24 hours are complete.

An 80-kg adult has a 20% TBSA burn. Using the $2\ \text{mL} \times \text{kg} \times \%\text{TBSA}$ estimate, the patient was injured 3 hours ago and has already received 600 mL. What rate in mL/hour delivers the remaining amount assigned to the first 8 hours after injury? Round to the nearest whole number.
