Discussion: Explain how to approach fluid resuscitation in the trauma patient
Explain how to approach fluid resuscitation in the trauma patient. Discuss how and why your approach might differ if the patient is geriatric. Explain what comorbidities you must consider when resuscitating and why. Identify when you would choose normal saline vs. lactated Ringer’s solution vs. blood for fluid resuscitation. Provide a rationale for using each of these options. Support your summary and recommendations plan with a minimum of two APRN-approved scholarly resources.
