Question

A patient with severe inhalation burns has been receiving treatment for 24 hours. when assessing the patient, which findings would indicate respiratory distress?

Answer 1

The correct answer is 1, 3 and 5.

Respiratory distress can cause restlessness since it causes breathing problems for the patient. Increased agitation might be a sign of respiratory distress as the patient tries to balance out an increase in oxygen demand.

An adaptation to the higher oxygen demands is an increase in respiratory rate. It demands prompt attention since it indicates impending respiratory trouble. Respiratory distress does not lead to more sleep since the patient gets restless. It is not only respiratory discomfort that requires increased water intake.
