resuscitation phase. Which actions are priorities during this phase?
(Select all that apply.)
A. Administer analgesics.
B. Prevent wound infections.
C. Provide fluid replacement.
D. Decrease core temperature.
E. Initiate physical therapy.
Correct Answer: A, B, C
Rationale: Nursing priorities during the resuscitation phase include
securing the airway, supporting circulation and organ perfusion by
fluid replacement, keeping the client comfortable with analgesics,
,preventing infection through careful wound care, maintaining body
temperature, and providing emotional support. Physical therapy is
inappropriate during the resuscitation phase but may be initiated
after the client has been stabilized.

C. Establish a meeting place for all family members outside of the
home in case of a fire.
D. Establish a plan for exiting each room of your home in the case of
a fire.
E. Have a fire extinguisher readily available in the kitchen.
Correct Answer: A, B, E
Rationale: Prevention of burns includes not smoking in bed or when
sleepy, not wearing loose-fitting clothing when cooking or around an
open heat source, and installing a portable fire extinguisher in the
kitchen. The remaining options are related to safely evacuating a
,home in case of a fire, which is important but not specific to burn
prevention education.

the emergency room for advice. Which information should the nurse
provide to the client?
A. Apply an ice pack to the right hand.
B. Place the hand in cool water.
C. Be sure to rupture any blister formation.
D. Go immediately to the doctor's office.
Correct Answer: B. Place the hand in cool water.
Rationale: Cool water gives immediate and striking relief from pain
and limits local tissue edema and damage. Ice should never be
applied directly to a burn as it can cause further tissue damage.
Blisters should never be ruptured due to infection risk.

area in cool water, covering with a clean dry cloth, and removing
clothing if not stuck to the skin. Antibiotic ointment should not be
applied to open skin without provider direction, and ice should never
be placed directly on a burn.
