A patient has been admitted to the burn unit at a large, tertiary care hospital with burns that involve 35% of the patient's total body surface area (TBSA). The nurse on the burn unit should be aware that:
1- Extensive burns have pathophysiological effects that supersede the integumentary system.
2- Burns involving a large TBSA are often less painful than burns that are less extensive.
3- Extensive burns necessitate palliative care rather than curative treatments.
4- Burns that involve a large TBSA are always accompanied by sepsis.
