Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Warmed lactated Ringer's solution is the IV solution of choice because it most closely approximates the body's extracellular fluid composition. It is warmed to prevent hypothermia. The other solutions are not the first choice in fluid resuscitation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The patient's family is describing eschar, which is the hard crust of burned necrotic tissue. Eschar needs to be removed to promote wound healing. Asking the doctor to discuss the treatment plan does not answer the family's question. It is unlikely that the patient requested that the eschar be removed. Scabs are not removed to check for blood flow.
