Answer to Question 1

A
Aminophylline dilates the bronchi to improve respirations and ventilation. Mucolytics or expectorants thin respiratory secretions. Mast cell stabilizers prevent histamine release from the mast cells. Corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory actions.

Answer to Question 2

3. Glycosuria

Rationale:
Glucose is seen in the urine after a major burn injury. It signals the need to re-evaluate the client's nutritional plan. Creatine phosphokinase is used to identify the presence of muscle injuries. BUN levels are used to evaluate kidney function. Hemoglobin levels will fluctuate with the stages of the burn injury, dependent upon the fluid status.
