Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The immediate threat to life in children with thermal injuries is airway compromise and profound shock. Anemia is not of immediate concern. During the healing phase, local infection and sepsis are the primary complications.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
During the healing phase, local infection and sepsis are the primary complications. Respiratory problems, primarily airway compromise, are the primary complications during the acute stage of burn injury.
