This Simulated Patient Encounter maps to Scenario PED 25 – Dylan DiSabatino – Infected Partial Thickness Burns – School Age – Sterile Dressing Change on the Elsevier Evolve Platform

Dylan DiSabatino is a 9-year-old Latino male who suffered partial-thickness burns. After initial treatment at home, Dylan developed pain, fever, chills, and purulent drainage. A sterile dressing change, for which Dylan has been pre-medicated, has been ordered twice daily. During this scenario, learners must perform a sterile dressing change for a reluctant pediatric patient.
