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

Answer: 1

1. Following a major burn, fluids shift and intestinal motility decrease, which can cause a paralytic ileus.
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.
4. Capillary leaks that occur cause damage to the immune system.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
