Chapter 14. Burns & Other Thermal Injuries
++
++
++
Burn severity can be informed by each of the following except
++
++
++
A. Fraction of body surface area affected
++
++
++
++
C. Death of others in the same incident
++
++
D. Accompanying other major trauma
++
++
E. Concurrent inhalational injury
+
++
C. Death of others in same incident
++
++
++
Hypermetabolism after burn injuries
++
++
++
A. Can contribute to coagulopathy
++
++
B. Causes a disproportionate loss of muscle mass
++
++
C. Can approach a threefold increase in basal metabolic rate after severe burns
++
++
D. Can be slowed with beta-adrenergic blockade
++
++
E. Is not catabolic and can be limited by decreased caloric intake
+
++
A. Can contribute to coagulopathy
++
++
++
Care of the burn wound may include each of the following except
++
++
++
A. Closed method occlusive dressings with twice daily dressing changes
++
++
B. May accompany tension pneumothorax
++
++
C. Exposure therapy with topical agents applied to uncovered areas of the face
++
++
D. Primary management with bismuth-containing antimicrobial topical agents
++
++
E. Temporary coverage with a skin substitute
+
++
D. Primary management with bismuth-containing antimicrobial topical agents
++
++
++
Maintenance of functional motion during burn wound healing
++
++
++
A. Benefits from early consideration with functional position splinting and active motion
++
++
B. Is benefitted, in general, by the tendency of the wounds to contract
++
++
C. Suffers after early skin grafting due to promotion of wound contracture
++
++
D. Is easier to maintain around joints due to increased natural motion
++
++
+
++
A. Benefits from early consideration with functional position splinting and active motion
++
++
++
Respiratory compromise after burn wounds is commonly due to
++
++
++
A. Early pulmonary emboli (12-36 hours after injury)
++
++
++
++
C. Cardiogenic pulmonary edema
