What type of condition requires crystalloid and colloid fluid administration due to significantly increased metabolic demands?
  1. Severe burns
  2. Malnutrition
  3. Cancer
  4. Heat stroke
Explanation
Answer: A - Animals with severe burns require crystalloid and colloid fluid administration due to significantly increased metabolic demands. Additionally because of pain and limited mobility, animals with severe burns are unlikely to meet the elevated nutritional needs simply by voluntary eating, so force feeding or enteral feeding is sometimes used. These patients' nutritional requirements sometimes increase up to 200%.
