Your answer:
Transport the patient to a different facility as the degree of
trauma cannot be safely handled by your hospital.
Incorrect answer.
Although some hospitals are better equipped than others to deal
with trauma, this particular patient has no other medical
problems other than the burns. This situation should be managable
by most emergency rooms. If on evaluation it is found that the
patient should be treated at a burn center, fluid resusitation,
pain management and decontamination can be performed prior to
transport to that facility.
