A 30 year old female patient has deep partial thickness burns on
the front and back of the right and left leg, front of right arm,
and anterior trunk. The patient weighs 63 kg. Use the Parkland
Burn Formula: What is the flow rate during the FIRST 8 hours
(mL/hr) based on the total you calculated?
A. 921 mL/hr
B. 938 mL/hr
C. 158 mL/hr
D. 789 mL/hr Correct Answers A
F/B R&L legs = 18% + 18% = 36%
F R arm = 4.5%
Ant trunk = 18%
Total = 58.5%
,Total Amount of LR = 4 mL x BSA % x pt's weight in kg
Therefore: LR = 4 x 58.5 x 63 = 14,742mL
So ½ needs to be given in first 8 hours, 14742/2 =
7,371mL/8hours = 921.375mL /hr
A 42-year-old woman has been diagnosed with a flail chest as a
result of her head-on collision with another vehicle this morning.
What is the present condition of the woman's chest?
A.The vacuum that normally exists in her pleural space has been

burns to the anterior head and neck, front and back of the left
arm, front of the right arm, posterior trunk, front and back of the
right leg, and back of the left leg. Using the Rule of Nines,
calculate the total body surface area percentage that is burned?
A. 63%
B. 81%
C. 72%
D. 54% Correct Answers A
Ant. head/neck = 4.5%
,Front/back L arm = 4.5+4.5 = 9%
Front R arm = 4.5%
Post. trunk = 18%
Front/back R leg = 9+9 = 18%
Back R leg = 9%
Total = 63%

D. Hypernatremia
E. Bone fractures

A client has the following arterial blood gas results: pH, 7.52;
paCO2, 30 mmHg; HCO3 level, 24 mmol/L. These results
indicate the presence of which acid-base disturbance?:
a) metabolic acidosis
b) metabolic alkalosis
c) respiratory acidosis
d) respiratory alkalosis Correct Answers D
pH - HIGH = alkaline
PaCO2 - LOW = RESP alkaline
HCO3 - normal range
, A client is taking hydrochlorothiazide for treatment of
hypertension. What symptoms should the nurse teach the client
to report?
A.Anxiety and muscle twitching
B.Abdominal cramping and diarrhea
C.Fatigue and muscle weakness

Hg, PCO2 32 mm Hg, and HCO3- 25 mmol/L. How would the
nurse interpret these results?
A.Metabolic acidosis
B.Metabolic alkalosis
C.Respiratory acidosis
D.Respiratory alkalosis Correct Answers D
pH is HIGH = alkaline
PCO2 is altered = RESP
When PCO2 is low, pH will be higher (alkaline), and when
PCO2 is high, pH will be low (acidic)
