A child who is intubated and on a mechanical ventilator is being transferred from the emergency department to the burn unit. Which action by the nurse takes priority?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Maintaining a patent airway is the priority in this child. The nurse should make sure an Ambu bag is at the bedside and that other emergency equipment is available.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Inserting a medicated rope dressing into the tunnel with a sterile cotton swab promotes healing. Questioning is unnecessary, topical anesthetics aren't used, and saline precedes, not follows, dressing.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Hexachlorophene cleansing reduces infection risk pre-peel. Makeup isn't restricted for a week prior, heat lamps aren't used, and antibiotics aren't standard pre-procedure.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Interleukin-2 is used as an adjuvant immunotherapy for malignant melanoma.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Keratoacanthomas originate from the hair follicle.
