In case of a burn injury, after getting consent and putting on gloves, what is the next step for an injured patron?

The immediate priority after obtaining consent and putting on gloves is to remove the victim from the source of the burn. This is essential because continuing exposure to the source could worsen the injury, increasing the severity of the burn and the associated pain. By removing the individual from the source, you prevent further damage to the skin and underlying tissues, which is crucial for minimizing complications and promoting a better healing process.

Addressing other options briefly, applying ice directly to a burn can lead to additional tissue damage and is not recommended as ice can constrict blood vessels, thus hindering healing. Covering the burn with a dry bandage is important but should come after ensuring the person is no longer in contact with the burning source. Although keeping the patient lying down can help with shock, it does not directly address the immediate risk posed by the source of the burn. Therefore, prioritizing removal from the source establishes the most effective response to a burn injury.
