Practice Question
A nurse is caring for a client who has full-thickness burns over 75% of his body. The nurse should use which of the following methods to monitor the cardiovascular system?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Obtain a central venous pressure.
Rationale:
◆ Major burns (75%) → burn shock, massive fluid shifts; need preload trending.
◆ CVP guides resuscitation (e.g., Parkland + physiologic response), avoiding under/over-resuscitation.
◆ Noninvasive BP/pulse pressure won’t reflect intravascular volume accurately here.
◆ PA catheter is more invasive and not routine initially for burn resuscitation.
◆ Goal: maintain perfusion (UOP ≥0.5 mL/kg/hr adults) while watching CVP trends.
