Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2

1. Constipation occurs as a result of decreased GI motility.
2. Compartment syndrome is a complication of the cardiovascular system.
3. Eschar is a substance that covers the burn wound that is debrided.
4. Weight loss would be significant of poor nutrition.

Answer to Question 2

2. A paralytic ileus is not due to infection.
3. The client with a major burn will be receiving nutrition via the IV route and will not be eating.
