A 65-year-old man was admitted overnight to the burn unit with an 18% partial-thickness scald burn. The day after admission, in the early afternoon, you note that the patient's heart rate has increased to 160 bpm, temperature is 38.7°C (101.7°F), and his capillary refill time has increased to greater than 2 seconds.
