him or her out of the sun between 10 AM and 2 PM, ensure the child wears a
baseball cap while outside, reapply sunscreen with profuse sweating, and make
sure the child is dressed in cotton clothing with a tight weave. These statements

pressure Cyanosis
Crackles, or rales, in the lungs are an early sign of pulmonary congestion and
edema caused by fluid overload. Clients with fluid overload will usually
demonstrate an increased heart rate and increased blood pressure. A
decreased heart rate and decreased blood pressure and cyanosis in a client
with fluid overload would be very late and fatal signs.
A client sustains severe burns over 40% of the surface area of the body. The nurse
is assigned to care for the client during the first 48 hours after the injury. What
clinical finding does the nurse anticipate if the client develops water intoxication?

excess in sensitive brain cells causes altered mental status; other signs include
anorexia, nausea, vomiting, twitching, sleepiness, and convulsions. Sooty-colored

insufficient fluid replacement or dehydration.
A healthcare provider prescribes oral aluminum-magnesium hydroxide
and intravenous ranitidine for a client with traumatic burns and crush
injuries. The client asks how these medications work. What is the nurse’s
best response?
"They decrease severe irritability of the
bowel." "They limit acidity in the
gastrointestinal tract." "They are effective in
clients with multiple trauma."
"They work the same way antidiarrhea medications do."
Stress from burns and crush injuries increases gastric acid production and
contributes to Curling ulcer formation. Ranitidine (an H2 receptor antagonist)
reduces gastric acid formation, and
aluminum-magnesium hydroxide (an antacid) neutralizes gastric acid once it is
formed. These drugs reduce gastrointestinal acidity, but do not decrease bowel
irritability. Stating that they "are effective in clients with multiple trauma" does
not answer the client's question about how the medications work. These drugs
do not work in the same way as antidiarrhea medications, which work to slow
gastrointestinal motility.
