What is the main reason for increasing both energy and protein in a burn patient?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To support tissue repair and increased needs
Major burns produce a stress response that can increase metabolic rate and protein breakdown. Additional energy helps meet these increased demands, while protein supplies amino acids for wound healing, immune function, and preservation of lean tissue. Requirements must be individually calculated and medically supervised.
