Which is NOT a goal of a positioning program for a burn patient?
  1. Minimize edema
  2. Prevent tissue destruction
  3. Reduce the risk of infection
  4. Maintain elongated state of soft tissue
Explanation
Answer: C - Reducing the risk of infection is not a goal of a positioning program for a burn patient.

Reducing the risk of infection should be included in the general care of the wounds. But positioning will not have any impact on reducing the risk of infection. So this is not a goal of a positioning program.
