A nurse in the emergency department is caring for a client who has major burns. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Administer fluid bolus immediately when the client arrives to the facility: Rapid fluid boluses are reserved for clients in hypovolemic shock. For burn resuscitation, fluids are calculated and administered according to formulas rather than as a one-time bolus. B. Administer one-third of the total fluid volume for resuscitation within the first 12 hr: Burn fluid resuscitation formulas, such as the Parkland formula, typically require half of the total calculated fluids to be given within the first 8 hours post-burn, not 12 hours. C. Calculate fluid volume for resuscitation beginning with client arrival time at the facility: Fluid calculation is based on the time of the burn occurrence, not the arrival time, to ensure accurate resuscitation over the initial 24 hours. D. Use the total body surface area of the client's burns when calculating fluid volume for resuscitation: The extent of burns, expressed as a percentage of total body surface area (TBSA), is a key factor in calculating fluid needs. Accurate TBSA assessment ensures appropriate fluid resuscitation to maintain perfusion and prevent complications.
