An older adult being treated for a burn on her lower leg and foot is surprised at its severity. She ...

An older adult being treated for a burn on her lower leg and foot is surprised at its severity. She says, “It really didn’t hurt very badly when I did it.” What should the nurse consider before responding?
1. Patients can block out portions of painful stimuli if it is overwhelming.
2. Aging can decrease touch sensitivity to the feet and lower legs.
3. Poor circulation has probably resulted in death of the nerve endings in the patient’s legs.
4. Burns on the legs often appear very severe because the skin is so thin.
