A nurse is caring for a client who has sustained burns over 35% of his total body
surface area. Of this total, 20% are full-thickness burns on the arms, face, neck, and

drooling. The nurse should identify these findings as indications that the client has
which of the following?

D. Carbon monoxide poisoning - Answer-C. Inhalation injury

Wheezing and hoarseness indicate inhalation injury with impending loss of the airway.
