What procedure is contraindicated in the care of a child with a minor partial-thickness burn injury wound?
 
  a. Cleaning the affected area with mild soap and water
  b. Applying antimicrobial ointment to the burn wound
  c. Changing dressings daily
  d. Leaving all loose tissue or skin intact

Question 2

The nurse has been caring for a primiparous patient who is suspected of carrying a macrosomic infant.
 
  Pushing appears to have been effective so far; however, as soon as the head is born, it retracts against the perineum much like a turtle's head drawing into its shell. In evaluating the labor progress so far, the nurse is aware that this is normal with large infants and extra pushing efforts by the mother may be necessary. Is this statement true or false? Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Cleaning with mild soap and water are important to the healing process.
B Antimicrobial ointment is used on the burn wound to fight infection.
C Clean dressings are applied daily to prevent wound infection. When dressings
are changed, the condition of the burn wound can be assessed.
D All loose skin and tissue should be debrided, because it can become a breeding
ground for infectious organisms.

Answer to Question 2

F
This is often referred to as the turtle sign and is an indication of shoulder dystocia.
Delayed or difficult birth of the shoulders may occur if they become impacted above the
maternal symphysis pubis. This complication of birth requires immediate intervention
because the umbilical cord is compressed and the chest cannot expand within the vagina.
Any of several methods may be employed to relieve the impacted shoulders. Shoulder
dystocia is unpredictable and although more common in large infants, can occur with a
baby of any weight.
