2. Look for entrance and exit wounds.
3. Cover the patient to prevent heat loss.
4. Move the patient indoors to a dry place.

, A nurse is teaching a class of older adults at a senior center about household cleaning
agents that may cause burns. Which agents should be included in these instructions?
(Select all that apply)
1. drain cleaners
2. household ammonia
3. oven cleaner
4. toiler bowl cleaner
5. lemon oil furniture polish - Correct Answer: 1,2,3,4
Rationale: All of the products except for the furniture polish can cause burns since they
are either alkalis or acids.

A patient, experiencing a burn that is pale and waxy with large flat blisters, asks the
nurse about the severity of the burn and how long it will take to heal. With which of
the following should the nurse respond to this patient?
1. The wound is a deep partial-thickness burn, and will take more than three weeks to
heal.
2. The wound is a partial-thickness burn, and could take up to two weeks to heal.
3. The wound is a superficial burn, and will take up to three weeks to heal.
4. The wound is a full-thickness burn and will take one to two weeks to heal.
5. Wound healing is individualized. - Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: The wound described is a deep partial-thickness burn. Deep partial-
thickness wounds will take more than three weeks to heal. A superficial burn is bright
red and moist, and might appear glistening with blister formation. The healing time for
this type of wound is within 21 days. A full thickness burn involves all layers of the
skin and may extend into the underlying tissue. These burns take many weeks to heal.
Stating that wound healing is individualized does not answer the patient's question
about the severity of the burn.

In order for the nurse to correctly classify a burn injury, which of the following does
the nurse need to assess?
Select all that apply.
1. the depth of the burn
2. extent of burns on the body
3. the causative agent and the duration of exposure.
4. location of burns on the body
