Question 1 of 5
After touching a hot oven grate, the client telephones the ED asking for advice for the singed fingers. Which initial statement by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ice causes vasoconstriction and can worsen the tissue damage. The nurse should collect additional information before advising that the client be seen in the ED. A first-degree burn ordinarily does not require medical care. Cool water will minimize skin redness, pain, and swelling and limit tissue damage. Applying a skin ointment as an initial intervention can trap heat in the tissues; if it has an oily base, it can prevent healing.
