Which observation shows that the fluid resuscitation is benefiting the client?

In an industrial accident, a male client that weighs 155 lb (70 kg) sustained full-thickness burns over 40% of his body. He’s in the burn unit receiving fluid resuscitation.
A urine output consistently above 100 ml/hour-in a client with burns, the goal of fluid resuscitation is to maintain a mean arterial blood pressure that provides adequate perfusion of vital structures. if the kidneys are adequately perfused, they will produce an acceptable urine output of at least 0.5 ml/kg/hour. thus, the expected urine output of a 155-lb client is 35 ml/hour, and a urine output consistently above 100 ml/hour is more than adequate. weight gain from fluid resuscitation isnt a goal. in fact, a 4-lb weight gain in 24 hours suggests third spacing. body temperature readings and ecg interpretations may demonstrate secondary benefits of fluid resuscitation but arent primary indicators.
