Burn patients require an increased supply of protein for tissue repair and recovery. Activity may need to be limited based on the extent and location of the burn. Fluid restriction may be necessary for patients with significant edema, but should not be assumed without proper assessment. Antinausea medication may be helpful for patients experiencing nausea, but is not specifically related to the stress response in burn patients.
