A) Catastrophic fluid loss is the correct response.
Fluid loss starts immediately after the burn occurs, because heat damage increases the permeability of the capillaries, which means that plasma is able to leak out of the blood circulation.
The catastrophic loss of bodily fluids containing proteins and electrolytes that results from severe burns poses the most immediate threat to life.
Dehydration and an electrolyte imbalance follow, which in turn cause kidney failure (kidney shutdown) and vascular shock inadequate blood circulation due to reduced blood volume. Intravenous (IV) replacement of the lost fluids is necessary right away in order to rescue the patient.
