The nurse is caring for the client with problems of anxiety and confusion in the critical phase of burn injury. Which interventions should the nurse implement? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,C,D

Closing the door of the room may increase client anxiety. In the acute phase of burns, the client is too ill to write notes to family members.
