Abstract

The objective of the research work is to examine the role of the nursing professional in the hospital care of burn patients. It consisted of a descriptive documentary work with bibliographic design, applying a bibliographic review of the information. Sepsis is the main cause of death in burn patients. Interventions are challenging due to the lack of specific guidelines. All types of burns involve a risk of complications. The main needs associated with the behavioral state are those related to feeding, rest and communication, the same needs for which interventions have been established to reduce problems such as lack of appetite, insomnia and communication problems in general, interventions that are oriented to a professional and humanitarian behavior that will benefit the patient's recovery.
