Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. A high-calorie, high-protein diet is best to meet the increased nutritional requirements for healing.
2. Parents should be taught that management of a minor burn requires a high-calorie, high-protein diet. This is necessary to meet the increased nutritional requirements of healing.
3. A high-calorie, high-protein diet is required to meet the increased nutritional requirements for healing.
4. The family should be taught that a high-calorie, high-protein diet is best to meet the increased nutritional requirements for healing.

Answer to Question 2

3, 1, 2, 4
Rationale:
The first step in burn care is to ensure that the child has an airway, is breathing, and has a pulse. Due to the severity of the burn, establishing IV access and starting resuscitation fluids would be next; then the area of pain should be addressed, followed by the insertion of a Foley catheter.
