In critical care and departmental settings, nurses respond to the needs of patients with burn utilizing the evidence-based nursing practice. As a result, the nurse needs to be aware of and react accurately to fluid and electrolyte resuscitation among that group of patients. Aim: the aim of the study, was to evaluate the effect of implementing fluid and electrolyte resuscitation educational package on nurses’ performance and outcomes of patients with burn. Design: a quasi-experimental research design (pre- and posttest design) was utilize in the current study. Setting: The study was carried out at Mansoura University Hospitals' Plastic and Reconstructive Burn Center.
