Q

How long does the proliferation phase last, and how is it characterized by?

A

begins around day 3 and lasts until the wound heals
Revascularization/re-epithelialization
COntracture of the burn wound
The wound remains red, raised, a rigid scar may develop
The tensile strength of the new scar is poor.

Q

How long does the maturation phase last, and how is it characterized by?

A

begins around 3rd weeks of healing lasting up to 2 years.
Fibroblast leave and collagen remodeling occurs
Redness fades, scar softens and flattens
The tensile strength of scar increases only reaching about 80% of its original strength.

21
Q

True/False. Deeper wounds that take over 2 wks to heal have an increased risk of hypertrophic scarring?

A

Ture

22
Q

Can scare lead to loss of motion and joint contracture?

A

Yes

23
Q

Scare can be influenced by proper positioning, exercise, splinting, and compression?

A

Yes

24
Q

What are burning rehabilitation goals, STG, and LTG?

A

STG; provide support, preparing for self-care tasks, AROM, education
LTG; established with the patient, family, and rehab team.

25
Q

In the acute care phase of recovery, what is the focus?

A 
Psychosocial support
edema
prevent contractures and loss of ROM 
strength 
Activity Tolerance
Promote occupational performance and I with self-care 
Education
26
Q

In the Postop Phase of recovery, what is the focus on?

A

Protect/preserve graft and donor sites (splints, positioning)
Prevent atrophy and DVT (exercise as appropriate)
I with self-care
AE
Educate

27
Q

IN the Rehab phase of recovery, what is the focus on?

A

Begins when the wound closes.
Scar mgt program
Compression therapy
Improve jt mobility and prevent contracutres
Restore ROM, MMT, Coordination and endurance
ADL, IADL retraining, post dc planning (school, work)

28
Q

What are OT interventions in burns?

A 
Preventive positioning 
Splinting 
ADL's
Therapeutic exercise
Scare management 
Compression therapy 
Edema management
29
Q

Preventive Positioning is focusing on?

A

Reducing edema
Maintaining antideformity position
Position of comfort is usually the position of contracture

30
Q

Position of contracture include?

A

UE - shoulder add and flexion
LE - flexion of the hip, knees with plantar flexion of the ankles, toes pulled dorsally
Hand - MP ext, IP flexion, thumb add (claw hand)

31
Q

Splitting should be in what position?

A

Antideformity position

32
Q

What splint should be provided for acute phase?

A

Static splint

33
Q

Volar hand splint should be in?

A

Wrist ext 15-30%, MP flex 50-70, IP ext th abd/ext

34
Q

Elbows and knees should be in?

A

5 degrees of flexion

35
Q

Splints should be?

A

check for pressure
assessment daily
secure with a figure of 8 wrap
(ear protection splint).

36
Q

Important to remember after surgery is to?

A

avoid shearing after graft placement
assess surrounding tissue for graft integrity
doner sites are treated similarly to burn sites.

37
Q

How do ADLs look like in the acute phase?

A

can be very limited
self suctioning of oral cavity possible if facial burns have not occurred.
After extubation oral care is attempted
Self-feeding when cleared by MD
AE for ADL’s
Select tasks with high probability of success

38
Q

What are the examples of therapeutic exercises/activity tolerance?

A 
Sitting tolerance
transfers 
ambulation activities 
A/AA/PROM exercises 
Preserve ROM
Decreased edema
Build cardiopulmonary endurance
Graded exercise as appropriate
39
Q

Scare Massage /skin conditioning is meant to?

A

Help improve scar integrity and durability
Used on any burned area taking over 2 wks to heal
Lubrication and massage with water-based cream performed 3-4 x per day.
Help desensitize, soften scar bands
Massage in a circular motion

40
Q

True or false? Scar maturation takes 12-18 mo after injury

A

Ture

41
Q

Compression therapy should be initiated when?

A

Early usually 5-7 days after removal of dressings

The goals are to decrease hypersensitivity, edema control, and scar compression

42
Q

A

Superficial partial-thickness

45
Q

It is important for an Occupational therapist to complete their eval?

A

within 48 hrs

46
Q

Tx intervention for scar mgt often used by OTs include?

A

all of these answers

47
Q

An OT practitioner is treating a client who sustained second and third degree burns on the dorsal forearm and hand. Which splint would be appropriate for this client?

A

intrinsic plus splint

48
Q

An OTR is evaluating a pt with 3rd degree burns on his neck. The anti-deformity position to educate the pt caregiver on for the neck is?

A

Neutral

49
Q

Which of the following is considered a medical emergency?

A

compartment syndrome

50

A local flap

51
Q

A

Can be stretched to large area and allows drainage
