burn patients when brought to the emergency room must be treated as quickly as possible..after the initial steps, the patient must be given proper positioning of its burn areas.. for ex: a burn patient in the anterior aspect of the arm: in this situation, a physical therapist or even a nurse must extend the arm of the patient. because, when the elbow is flexed, contractures may occur, and these contractures cannot be treated. agree or disagree??

Enough said. Are you a physical therapist? or a nurse? Thanks for the information anyway.
