Answer 1

Answer:

explain to the patient that it may cause burning sensation

Explanation:

Apply cream only after instituting appropriate measures to control shock and pain. Apply to cleansed, debrided burn wounds using a sterile, gloved hand. Bathe patient daily, preferably in a whirlpool bath, to aid in debridement. Dressings generally not required; if necessary, use only a thin layer.
