As the immune system becomes overpowered, opportunistic infections can occur. The most common infection is Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. The other infections can also occur, but they occur less frequently.

Answer to Question 2

Large burns cause decreased peristalsis, and therefore nothing should be given by mouth. Clients with large burns may vomit, and attention is needed to prevent them from aspirating vomitus. Prophylactic intubation may be initiated if any heat or smoke has been inhaled. Fluid replacement and urine output are necessary for the treatment of the burn client.
