Question: 1
A 12-year-old male is admitted to the emergency department for wound management after an accident
in which gasoline was thrown into a campfire, resulting in an explosion and flash burn. The pediatric
nurse is asked to assist with initial debridement and cleaning of the wound. Which of the following
debridement methods is NOT indicated in this scenario?
A. Mechanical debridement
B. Immersion hydrotherapy
C. Surgical debridement
D. Enzymatic debridement
Answer: B
Explanation:
Correct answer: Immersion hydrotherapy
Wound care should only be initiated after all potentially life-threatening injuries have been addressed.
Wound cleansing involves using water and mild soap in a bath basin, or various topical agents, to
cleanse the wound(s). While hydrotherapy may be utilized for some burn wounds, immersion
hydrotherapy is no longer indicated as a viable treatment option due to its increased risk of bacterial
translocation.
Wound debridement involves the removal of necrotic tissue, debris, and foreign material. Depending on
the type and location of the burn wound, debridement can be done via hydrotherapy, mechanical,
enzymatic, or surgical debridement.
