Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After a thermal injury, the body undergoes several physiological changes. A) Decreased intravascular fluid volume occurs due to fluid loss from damaged vessels and increased capillary permeability, leading to fluid shifting into the interstitial space. B) Increased systemic vascular resistance is a compensatory mechanism to maintain blood pressure despite the loss of fluid volume. E) Increased potassium ion flow into the extracellular fluid happens due to cell damage, causing potassium to leak out of cells into the bloodstream.
