The most important intervention in the nutritional support of a
patient with a burn injury is to provide adequate nutrition and
calories to:
a) decrease catabolism.
The most important intervention in the nutritional support of a patient
with a burn injury is to provide adequate nutrition and calories to
decrease catabolism. Nutritional support with optimized protein intake
can decrease the protein losses by approximately 50%.
b) increase metabolic rate.
A marked increase in metabolic rate is seen after a burn injury;
interventions are instituted to decrease metabolic rate and catabolism.
c) increase glucose demands.
A marked increase in glucose demands are seen after a burn injury;
interventions are instituted to decrease glucose demands and
catabolism.
d) increase skeletal muscle breakdown.
Rapid skeletal muscle breakdown with amino acids serving as the
energy source is seen after a burn injury; interventions are instituted
to decrease catabolism.
