Choice B, Educating the parents about potential complications, is important but not the nurse’s priority.
Choice C, Place the child on a no-salt-added diet, which may be part of the treatment
plan but is not the nurse’s priority.
Choice D, Maintaining a saline lock, may be necessary for administering medications but is not the nurse’s priority.

Explanation
Partial-thickness burns can be described by redness, swelling, and blisters. The skin is usually reddened and may be sensitive to touch.
Choice A is not the answer because a partial-thickness burn affects both the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and the layer beneath it (dermis), so the epidermis would not be intact.
Choice B is not the answer because partial-thickness burns can have a moist
surface due to blistering.
Choice D is not the answer because blanching with pressure is not a common
finding for partial-thickness burns.
