In order for the nurse to correctly classify a burn injury, they need to assess the depth of the burn, the extent of burns on the body, the causative agent and the duration of exposure, and the location of burns on the body. The time that the burn occurred may also be important for determining appropriate treatment, but it is not necessary for classification of the burn injury.
