The nurse caring for a child who sustained a burn injury plans care based on which pediatric considerations associated with this injury? Select all that apply.
1. Scarring is less severe in a child than in an adult. 2. A delay in growth may occur after a burn injury. 3. An immature immune system presents an increased risk of infection for infants and young children. 4. Fluid resuscitation is unnecessary unless the burned area is more than 25% of the total body surface area. 5. The lower proportion of body fluid to body mass in a child increases the risk of cardiovascular problems. 6. Infants and young children are at increased risk for protein and calorie deficiency because they have smaller muscle mass and less body fat than adults.
