Final answer:

The treatment for shock is also the treatment for extensive burns, involving intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration and circulatory failure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The treatment for shock for all victims of illness or trauma, which includes maintaining blood flow and providing adequate oxygen and nutrients to tissues, is also the same treatment/management for extensive burns.

In the case of burns, fluid loss can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, renal, and circulatory failure, requiring urgent intervention with intravenous fluids to restore hydration and stabilize the patient. Shock, whether from burns or other causes, needs immediate treatment to prevent the progression of a positive-feedback loop that could lead to death.
