Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adequate fluid replacement should result in a urine output of at least 30-50 mL/hr in an adult. A urine output of 20 mL/hr indicates inadequate fluid resuscitation and possible kidney damage or failure. Rectal temperature, crackles in the lungs, and edema in the burn area are important assessments, but they may not directly indicate the effectiveness of fluid replacement.
