Escape Rooms for Complex Care -
Exam 3
The severity of each burn injury is determined by which of these factors?
- Depth of the burn, weight of the patient.
- Presence of inhalation injury, depth of the burn.
- Amount of surface area of the body that is burned, gender of the patient.
- Gender of the patient, duration of the burn. - answerPresence of inhalation injury,
depth of the burn.
The severity of each burn injury is determined by which of these factors? - answerThe
severity of each burn injury is determined by multiple factors. These include age of the
patient, depth of the burn, amount of surface area of the body that is burned; the
presence of inhalation injury, presence of other injuries location of the injury in areas
such as the face, perineum, hands, or feet; and the presence of a past medical history.
What are complications of burns? SATA
- Electrolyte imbalances.
- Hypovolemia.
- Compartment syndrome.
- Low hematocrit.
- Inhalation injury. - answerElectrolyte imbalances.
Hypovolemia.
Compartment syndrome.
Inhalation injury.
What are complications of burns? - answerThe initial systemic event after a major burn
injury is hemodynamic instability, which results from the loss of capillary integrity and a
subsequent shift of fluid, sodium, and protein from the intravascular space into the
interstitial space, producing hypovolemic shock. Circumferential urns can also result in
compartment syndrome requiring an escharotomy or fasciotomy.
The nurse is concerned about hyperkalemia in her acutely burned patient. Besides
monitoring the lab values, we should also look for the following on the EKG monitor.
SATA
- Increased heart rate.
- Widening QRS.
- Flat P waves.
- Peaked T wave. - answerWidening QRS.
