Answer to Question 1

4. Fluid resuscitation

Rationale:
The nurse caring for the client during the emergent stage of burn injuries will be expected to administer intravenous fluids to meet the body's needs. Fluid management will take place in the burn unit or intensive care unit. Nutrition management will begin in the burn unit and continue throughout the client's care. Psychosocial support will be needed once the client has stabilized.

Answer to Question 2

1. I do not eat many dairy products..

Rationale:
The client states that she does not take in much calcium, so focusing on diet would be a priority for this client. The statements about taking long walks, removing scatter rugs, and taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain would not elicit the nursing diagnosis imbalanced nutrition.
