You are caring for a child in burn shock. Which of the following assessments indicates the child is getting adequate fluid resuscitation?

Skin turgor
Edema at burn sites
Peripheral pulses
Neurological assessment

Explanation

Answer: D - The neurological assessment would be the most accurate indication of adequate fluid resuscitation. Burns do not affect neurological status, and the child should be alert and oriented. If for any reason the child is not, then further investigation would be necessary.
