Question

a nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has burn injuries to his trunk about what to expect from the prescribed hydrotherapy. which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

\i will be on a special shower table.\

\the water temperature will be very cool to ease my pain.\

\the nurse will use a firm - bristled brush to remove loose skin.\

\the nurse will use scissors to open small blisters.\

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option based on hydrotherapy for burn injuries:

• Option 1: Hydrotherapy for burn clients (especially with trunk burns) often uses a special shower table to facilitate care and positioning. This is a correct understanding.
• Option 2: Water temperature in hydrotherapy for burns is usually warm (not very cool) to prevent hypothermia and promote circulation, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Firm - bristled brushes are not used as they can damage the skin; gentle methods are used to remove loose skin, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: Small blisters are typically left intact; scissors are not used to open them as it can increase infection risk, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. "I will be on a special shower table."
