The inflammatory response depends on how severe the initiating event was.It would not be unexpected to have an extensive inflammatory reaction to a severe burn injury.The nurse would not have to notify the health care provider immediately,because this would not signal an emergency.This does not necessarily indicate a fever or an infection; however,the client with extensive burns would be prone to developing infection.
