I am writing an assignment for my final yr of nursing and am having trouble determining what the 'health alteration' is in the following scenario. Would they be talking about shock or the scars? thank you very much for any insight! Kevin Lewis, 22 year old weighing 72 kgs, was involved in an industrial fire at 1130 hours. Kevin was welding a steel structure when a spark from his torch ignited a barrel of flammable material that was inadvertently placed in his work area. Kevin sustained full thickness burns over the upper half of his chest and circumferential burns to both arms. He also sustained superficial partial thickness burns to his face, neck and both hands. His entire abdomen, upper half of his back and front of his upper legs sustained deep partial thickness burns. The hospital just bought a new pressure garment for treating burns. In the past, burns were treated with a variety of different interventions. Some staff are still unsure of what is best. Clue: There is uncertainty among staff about best practice in treatment of a particular alteration in health. What is that alteration in health? Focus your question on possible management alternatives for this alteration in health, being sure to include at least the one alternative discussed in the scenario?
