Additional topics include nutrition, sepsis, pain management, sedation, delirium, rehabilitation, scar management, contracture prevention, psychosocial recovery, and discharge planning.

The guide also reviews pediatric, geriatric, and pregnancy-related burn care; non-accidental injuries; disaster response; ethics; interdisciplinary practice; quality improvement; and end-of-life care. A concluding knowledge check reinforces key concepts.
