ATI RN 302 Paediatrics proctored Exam
You are admitting a 20-month-old female 3 hours post partial-thickness scald burns. The burns are on the anterior torso and neck, the right upper extremity, and the right face. There are large blisters on the torso and upper extremities. In addition, splash marks on the left lower and upper extremities without blisters and intact skin. Using the rule of nines, you estimate the patient has 20% of the body surface burned. A 22G peripheral intravenous line is in the left arm, and 0.9% normal saline is infusing at 70 ml per hour. The transport team placed wet saline dressings before transport. The patient weighs 13.5 kg. Calculate the rate at which the patient's burn fluid resuscitation should be infused in the first 8 hours.
