Scenario Stem:
It’s 09:00 and you are the nurse in charge of the paediatric area of a suburban hospital. One of the nurses has attended a 16 month old called Kylie who has been brought in by her Dad approximately 12 hours after bilateral burns to her feet. Jason reports a story of running a bath and one of his older kids putting her in the bath when it was too hot and he was out of the room. The registrar has given analgesia but wanted you to review the patient prior to any ongoing management.
Your task is to undertake a focused history from Jason (the father) and formulate a management plan.
