You have arrived on the scene of a large structure fire. Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs) are by the side of a patient who is responsive to verbal stimuli and has suffered significant burns to his body. They report that the patient fell down a flight of stairs while trying to escape and was trapped for several minutes. Their assessment findings include partial- and full-thickness burns to his right arm, right leg, and right side of the face. The EMRs also report that the patient's unburned skin is cool, clammy, and pale, with a delayed capillary refill. His pulse is 144, respirations are 22, and blood pressure is 88/50 mmHg. Which one of the following instructions would be most appropriate?
 
  A) The patient is in burn shock; let's cool him by pouring cold water on him now and during transport.
  B) After reassessing the ABCs, let's do a secondary assessment and look for signs of injuries that are causing shock.
  C) The patient is in burn shock; let's soak a sterile burn sheet in water and wrap it around him.
