Rationale:

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.
