please help me identify nursing assessment, problems identified, and interventions appropriate, the immediate priority (priorities) and the long term priorities for this patient? Include how i would evaluate my nursing care in this case study. a 25-year-old male fell out of a tree and struck a hot charcoal grill, lacerated his left leg, and his clothes caught fire Once brought to ED, his burns were estimated to be partial and full thickness over his face, neck, trunk, right upper arm, and left leg. He is alert, and his voice is slightly hoorifice His left leg is splinted, and the lacerated wound is cleaned and debrided . IV is started, and indwelling urinary catheter is inserted into bladder. Using the Lund-Browder chart, his total body surface affected is 46%. Assuming he did not receive any fluids prior to arriving at the ED 1 hour after burn, what would you expect for IV fluid infusion over the next twenty four hours?.
That Guy-- We learned the same way you did the formula is 4cc lactated ringers/kg/%TBSA -- half given first 8 hours and second half given the next 16 hours...
