Autografts : 5 important things to avoid

A female client with second- and third-degree burns on the arms receives autografts.

Two days later, the nurse finds the client doing arm exercises. The nurse knows that this client should avoid exercise because it may:

A. dislodge the autografts.
B. increase edema in the arms.
C. increase the amount of scarring.
D. decrease circulation to the fingers.
