A

D
E
Rationale
,Structure A in the image indicates the epidermis; structure B indicates the
dermis. In a deep partial-thickness burn, the structures involved are the
epidermis and dermis in varying depths. This is also known as a second-
degree burn. Structure C is fat; structure D is muscle; structure E is bone.
These structures are involved in full-thickness burns (third- and fourth-
degree burns).

Which cardiac parameter would the nurse assess to determine
the adequacy of fluid resuscitation in a patient who has
sustained burns? Select all that apply. One, some, or all
responses may be correct.
Some correct answers were not selected
Heart rate less than 120 beats/minute
Manual systolic blood pressure (BP) greater than 90 mm Hg
Arterial line systolic BP greater than 90 mm Hg
Manual mean arterial pressure greater than 65 mm Hg
Arterial line mean arterial pressure greater than 65 mm Hg
Rationale
The cardiac parameters that help to assess the adequacy of fluid
resuscitation are heart rate less than 120 beats/minute, arterial line systolic
BP greater than 90 mm Hg, and arterial line mean arterial pressure greater
, than 65 mm Hg. Manual BP and manual mean arterial BP measurements
are invalid in burns because of edema and vasoconstriction.
