Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To classify a burn injury as minor, moderate, or major, the nurse needs to gather as much information as possible regarding the location of the burns on the body, the history of the event and location where the injury occurred, any concurrent injuries, and the causative agent. The time the injury occurred may also be important, but it may not be as relevant to determining the severity of the burn. Therefore, option D is not the best choice as compared to other options.
