Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Disorientation in the burn patient is one of the first signs of overwhelming sepsis and may indicate inadequate hydration. Seizures, bradycardia, and decreased blood pressure are not initial manifestations of overwhelming sepsis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Partial-thickness burns require debridement of devitalized tissue to promote healing. The procedure is very painful and requires analgesia and sedation before the procedure. Preventing bleeding, maintaining the airway, and restoring fluid balance are not goals related to debridement.
