Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Indicators that the client with a burn injury has a positive perception of his or her appearance include a willingness to touch the affected body part.Self-care activities such as morning care foster feelings of self-worth,which are closely linked to body image.Allowing others to change the dressing and discussing future reconstruction would not indicate a positive perception of appearance.Wearing the dressing will assist in decreasing complications but will not enhance self-perception.
