The nurse completed a dressing change for a client with partial thickness burns to both legs. after completing the dressing change, what intervention should the nurse implement?
a) administer a prn dose of pain medication.
b) raise this head of bed to a 90 angle.
c) perform passive range of motion.
d) position ankles in a dorsiflexed position.

Correct option is A: Administer a PNR dose to the client for pain medication

Explanation:

Partial thickness burns to both legs can be very painful as a result of the degree of burn. Hence after completing the dressing change, the patient will be in pain as a result of the change. Hence, the nurse is expected to administer a PNR dose as this will help in reducing the pain and suffering that the patient will be going through at that time and ensure quick recovery.

don't worry, but do consult a doctor.

explanation:

having a high metabolism at age 13 is not abnormal.   however, if you are concerned, do consult a doctor.   the doctor may identify a correctable issue, and then you'll have your answer.   in the meantime, there are a few steps you might consider.

first, reflect on just how much physical activity (work out and dancing) you are getting relative to your caloric intake.   keep in mind that if you are interested in gaining weight, you must have a higher caloric intake than output.   second, if eating robust healthy meals is not providing enough calories, you'll need to include high caloric, yet healthy, snacks.   i warn against using an over the counter high-calorie supplement (drink or food) until you have consulted a doctor.
