The priority nursing diagnosis during the acute phase of burn injury for a child who has a third-degree circumferential burn of the right arm would be
1. Risk for Infection.
2. Risk for Altered Tissue Perfusion.
3. Risk for Altered Nutrition: Less than Body Requirements.
4. Impaired Physical Mobility.

2... When the burn is circumferential, blood flow can become restricted due to edema and result in tissue hypoxia; therefore, the priority diagnosis is Risk for Altered Tissue Perfusion to the Extremity. Infection, nutrition, and mobility would have second priority in this case.
