Ongoing nursing assessment
should target adequate response
to treatments. Monitor for improving
LOC, increasing urine output
(greater than 0.5 mL/kg/hour or at
least 30 mL/hour in an average-sized
adult), and hemodynamic stability.
Continual monitoring of endpoints
of resuscitation is critical. (As previously
mentioned, these endpoints are
indicators of tissue perfusion, such as
serum lactate levels and restoration
of normal arterial base defi cits.)
