Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ringers Lactate is a balanced crystalloid solution containing sodium, potassium, calcium, and lactate, which makes it an appropriate choice for fluid replacement in a patient with burn injuries who is in hypovolemic shock. It helps to replace electrolytes and maintain acid-base balance. Albumin, fresh frozen plasma, and cryoprecipitate are not appropriate choices for this scenario as they do not provide balanced electrolyte replacement.
