Burn - Concept Map

Patient Chad suffered burns from a house fire while sleeping. Laboratory findings showed elevated hemoglobin, hematocrit, blood urea nitrogen, and glucose levels due to hemoconcentration resulting from fluid shifts after the large burn injury. Nursing care for Patient Chad's partial thickness burns on her legs and torso includes assessing and managing pain, providing information, and encouraging stress management techniques.
