Answer :
Final answer:
For a burn patient with 32% of body area burned and a urine output of 15 ml/hour, the nursing intervention expected would be to a) increase the fluid resuscitation rate to ensure adequate urine output and hydration.
Explanation:
An adult patient with partial and full-thickness burns to 32% of their body is receiving intravenous fluid at a rate of 400 ml/hour. With a urine output of 15ml/hour, the anticipated nursing intervention would be a) Increasing fluid resuscitation rate.
This is because a key goal in the early management of burn patients is ensuring adequate urine output, typically aimed at 0.5ml/kg/hr for adults, as an indicator of sufficient renal perfusion and fluid resuscitation adequacy.
