Individuals with severe burns are often at risk for becoming hypothermic. Which of the following descriptions best characterizes the underlying cause of this problem? Burn patients experience hypothermia as a rebound reaction from the heat damage. Burn patients tend to be hypothermic as a result of hypotension and ischemia. Evaporative heat loss from major burn wounds can lead to hypothermia. Blood coagulation limits the blood circulating to the body core, thereby causing hypothermia.

Evaporative heat loss from major burn wounds can lead to hypothermia.

Why do individuals with severe burns have difficulty breathing and often require intubation, even if there was no smoke inhalation causing acute lung injury? Severe pulmonary edema develops immediately after all severe burn injuries. Pulmonary emboli typically form after severe burn injuries. Airway edema is a common occurrence with severe burn injuries. Pneumothorax and pleural effusions occur with severe burn injuries.
