Question

A Hispanic woman was cooking using a skillet filled with hot oil. She was holding her 10 month old infant at the time. While dropping the food into the skillet, oil splattered onto the gas stove catching on fire and filling the skillet with flames. In a panic, she grabbed the handle of the burning skillet to remove it from the stove, spilling the hot oil all over her right arm and hand. The oil also splashed onto the right side of her face and neck, and across her chest, burning her skin through her T-shirt. The oil splashed on the feet and lower extremities of her infant. They are transported to the emergency department by emergency medical technicians. Upon arrival at the hospital, she is alert and oriented, without signs or symptoms of respiratory distress. She is screaming in pain. Her vital signs are BP 130/60, HR 94, Resp Rate 22, and temperature 97F. Her oxygen saturation is 99% on 2 liters of oxygen. The right side of her face and neck and her chest are red with several blisters noted. Her right arm and hand are swollen and have sloughing skin with a mottled appearance of cherryUsing.
