The nurse is discussing food selection with a client who recently experienced a partial-thickness burn over 20 of her body.
 
  The client expresses a reluctance to ingest a large amount of carbohydrates because she success-fully lost 50 pounds and does not want to regain the weight. The most therapeutic response to the client's nutritional needs is:
  1. Don't be concerned about regaining the weight until your burns have healed.
  2. You need a huge amount of calories to heal, so there won't be a weight gain.
  3. You will experience a nitrogen imbalance if there aren't enough carbohydrates in your diet.
  4. The extra carbohydrates will be utilized for energy so that your protein can be saved for repair of your skin.
