During burn therapy, morphine is primarily administered IV for pain management because this route:
Answer(s): B
(A) Absorption would be increased, not decreased. (B) IM injections should not be used until the client is hemodynamically stable and has adequate tissue perfusion. Medications will remain in the subcutaneous tissue with the fluid that is present in the interstitial spaces in the acute phase of the thermal injury. The client will have a poor response to the medication administered, and a "dumping" of the medication can occur when the medication and fluid are shifted back into the intravascular spaces in the next phase of healing. (C) IV administration of the medication would hasten respiratory compromise, if present. (D) The desire to avoid causing the client additional pain is not a primary reason for this route of administration.
A long-term goal for the nurse in planning care for a depressed, suicidal client would be to:
(A) This statement represents a short-term goal. (B) Long-term therapy should be directed toward assisting the client to cope effectively with stress. (C) Suicide contracts represent short-term interventions. (D) This statement represents an unrealistic goal. Stressful situations cannot be avoided in reality.
When the nurse is evaluating lab data for a client 1824 hours after a major thermal burn, the expected physiological changes would include which of the following?
Answer(s): D
(A) Sodium enters the edema fluid in the burned area, lowering the sodium content of the vascular fluid. Hyponatremia may continue for days to several weeks because of sodium loss to edema, sodium shifting into the cells, and later, diuresis. (B) Hypocalcemia occurs because of calcium loss to edema fluid at the burned site (third space fluid). (C) Protein loss occurs at the burn site owing to increased capillary permeability. Serum protein levels remain low until healing occurs. (D) Hematocrit level is elevated owing to hemoconcentration from hypovolemiA. Anemia is present in the postburn stage owing to blood loss and hemolysis, but it cannot be assessed until the client is adequately hydrated.

George Commented on September 26, 2025 I cleared the NCLEX-RN with help from Free-Braindumps.com exam questions. Their free questions felt close to the real exam and gave me solid view. Reviewing rationales daily improved my understanding. Stay consistent, focus on concepts, and you’ll build the confidence to pass. The exam is really hard. So don't take it easy. Portugal
