    Honey Bee S. Platolon reflected on a video about regional burn centers and the care of burn patients. The student learned that burn injuries affect multiple body systems, not just the skin, and require long-term therapy. The video showed a patient who set himself on fire and was treated at a burn center, where the burn team effectively communicated to provide care. The student also learned about the different degrees of burns and how severely burned patients require both physical and emotional support from nurses, who play a large role in their daily care and monitoring for changes in their condition.

    “SELF REFLECTION ON BURN VIDEO”

    Many people feel that the most dangerous aspect of a burn injury is skin damage.
    While the damage is serious in and of itself, the consequences of the skin damage are
    also serious. Water and other bodily fluids are kept inside the body by the skin. Fluid can
    flow out readily if the thickness of the skin is destroyed by a burn injury, and fluid loss is
    a highly significant side effect of a burn injury. As a result, a large infusion of fluid is
    required in the early hours following trauma to avoid shock.
    After watching the whole video on the regional burn center, I learned that burn
    injury is serious, it does not only affect the integumentary system of the patient, but it also
    affects the other organs. The process of the therapy is long, so it also needs to care the
    other systems of the body. In the video, Paul Granger 44 years old set himself on a fire
    and had a bizarre accident while lighting a cigarette in the backseat of a taxicab while the
    window is open, he arrived in the hospital complaining shortness of breath, and the burn
    is evident in his chest and neck that supports airway malfunction, the burn team of
    University of California San Diego Regional Burn Center immediately take action on the
    case of Mr. Ganger. I see how they communicate effectively in rendering care to the
    patient. I realized that effective communication is one of the most important components
    in the team's performance, both within the team and with patients and their families.
    I also learned about the different types of burns, the first-degree burns are similar
    to sunburns in that they are moderate. The epidermis, or top layer of skin, becomes red
    and irritated, but it usually does not blister. Second-degree burns affect the dermis, which
    is the skin's top and lower layers. Pain, redness, swelling, and blistering are all possible
    symptoms. Third-degree burns affect the epidermis, dermis, and fat layer of the skin. Hair
    follicles and sweat glands are also damaged by the burn. Because third-degree burns
    injure nerve endings, the patient will most likely not feel pain in the burn itself, but rather
    in the area immediately surrounding it. Burned skin can be black, white, or red in color,
    and has a leathery texture.
    As a nurse, we play a large role in the care of the burn patient. Patients who have
    been severely burned can be difficult to care for, requiring both physical and emotional
    support. Burn nurses must be able to handle critically ill patients on mechanical ventilator
    and renal support, as well as use advanced wound dressing techniques and provide
    emotional support to patients and their families. Nurses in a burn critical-care unit are
    often the first to notice and report any changes in a patient's status, as well as take
    corrective action. As a nurse, we are also in charge of administering the burn patient's
    daily continuous care.
    Burn injuries are amongst one of the most devastating of all injuries, having a great
    impact on the patients physically, physiologically, and psychologically. As a result, if we
    can prevent or avoid it, we should take an action.
