Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Parkland formula:
4 mL × weight (kg) × %TBSA = total fluid in 24 hours
= 4 × 75 × 30 = 9,000 mL total

Half of this is given in the first 8 hours:
9,000 ÷ 2 = 4,500 mL

Fluid rate per hour for first 8 hours:
4,500 mL ÷ 8 hours = 562.5 mL/hr

Therefore, the correct Answer is D.

A. Blackened dead skin B. Blistering from flames C. Excessive scarring D. A sunburn

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Blackened dead skin (eschar) is indicative of a full-thickness (third-degree) burn, not a first-degree burn.
B. Blistering suggests a partial-thickness (second-degree) burn, often caused by more intense heat or flame exposure.
C. Excessive scarring typically results from deeper burns, such as second- or third-degree burns, not superficial ones.
D. A sunburn is a classic example of a first-degree burn, which affects only the epidermis and presents with redness, pain, and mild swelling but no blisters or scarring.
