What are the percentage for the following?

AP head
AP chest
AP arms
Perineum 
AP LEG
A

Remember this is for one side. It is anterior and posterior. Respectively

Ap head- 4.5%
Ap arms- 4.5%

Q

In a burn victim what would happen to the sodium in the blood and the potassium in the blood

A

Hyponatremia and hyperkalemia

26
Q

What will increase as a result of possible loss this initial increase falls to below normal the 3rd to 4th day after the burn as a result of red blood cell damage.

A

Hematocrit levels

27
Q

What would happen initially to the kidneys and then what will happen over the next days to weeks

A

Blood will be shunted away from the kidneys causing oliguria then the body will be into rehab for fluid and diuresis of excess fluid will occur in the next days two weeks

28
Q

What happens as the G.I. does not receive blood in a burn victim

A

Intestinal ileus- which is a blockage due to no peristalsis

29
Q

In a burn victim _____________________ can develop resulting in decreased arterial oxygen tension level and a decrease in lung compliance

A

Pulmonary hypertension

30
Q

What happens at IV fluids are not administered to a burn victim who is having evaporative fluid loss

A

Hypovolemic shock and death can follow.

31
Q

Prehospital care for a burn victim begins at the scene of the accident what is the first thing you do to help this type of patient

A

Removing them from fire and then assess the ABC’s

32
Q

With a burn victim what does the body need to conserve and how do you do it

A

The body needs to conserve heat cover the problems with sterile for cleaning cloths

33
Q

After the burn victim is covered up to conserve heat what do you do next

A

Start IV and transfer to the hospital to the ER department

34
Q

In the emergency departments what actions must be taken for a client with Burns State 1- 6 in order

A 
1 assess airway
 2 oxygenate 100% 
3 assess vital signs 
4 start IV line and begin fluid 
5 elevate extremities if no fracture
 6 cover theThe client to conserve body
35
Q

In a major burn victim you have to administer _________% oxygen via a tight fitting nonbreathing facemask as prescribed until the carboxyhemoglobin levels fall below ____________%

A

100% and 15%

36
Q

In a major burn victim what are you initiate to prevent hypovolemia and maintain fluid balance

A

Initiate IV urine output should not be under 30 or over 50ml/h per hour

37
Q

When a patient has adequate urine output stable vital signs palpable peripheral pulses and intact level of consciousness what has been successful?

A

Fluid resuscitation

38
Q

__________output is the most reliable and most sensitive noninvasive assessment parameter for cardiac output and tissue perfusion

A

Urine

39
Q

After monitoring the pulse oximetry and you have checked the arterial blood gas how much do you elevate the head if there’s burns to the face and head?

A

30°

40
Q

For a patient that has major burns you have to wash your hands use sterile sheets and linens and use gloves Mask shoe covers scrub clothes and plastic apron, this is called what type of technique

__________________Is an incision me extending through the subcutaneous tissue and fascia is perform if adequate tissue perfusion does not return following and escharOtomy

A

Fasciotomy

49
Q

_______________ - wounds are cleansed by immersion showering or spraying it. done 30 minutes or less to prevent sodium loss and loss of heat, patient must be premedicated cannot be done to patients with skin grafts.

A

Hydrotherapy - it’s a type of mechanical debridement

50
Q

_________________- is the removal of this car or necrotic tissue to prevent bacterial proliferation under the eschar and to promote wound healing.

A

Debridement more commonly done on partial thickness and full thickness burns

51
Q

How many types of debridement

A 
Mechanical 
enzymatic 
surgical 
tangential technique 
fascial technique
52
Q

Performed during Hydro therapy involves washcloths sponges to debrief eschar and the use of scissors and forceps to lift and trim away those eschar, may include wet to dry or wet to wet dressing, painful procedure
What type of debridement is this?

A

Mechanical

53
Q

Application of topical enzyme agents directly to the wound the agents digest collagen in necrotic tissue
What type of debridement is this?

A

Enzymatic

54
Q

Excision of eschar the surgical procedure what type of debridement?

Thin layers of necrotic burn surface are excised until bleeding occurs which indicates that healthy dermis has been reached what type of debridement is this?

A

Surgical

Tangential technique

55
Q

The burn wound is excised to the level of superficial fascia this technique is usually reserved for very deep and extensive Burns
What type of debridement is this?

A

Fascial technique

56
Q

What days is the wound closure routinely performed

A

Days five through 21 following the injury depending on the extent of the burn

A

3 to 7

7 to 14 days

Softener and harsh detergents

Sun

58
Q

When dealing with a skin graft roll a cotton tipped applicator to remove extra date because exudate can lead to
