An extensive burn injury causes impairment of muscle and subcutaneous tissue. Additionally, the gastrointestinal tract has decreased perfusion related to the burn injury. Medications administered by mouth, intramuscularly, or subcutaneously are not absorbed consistently as a result of the burn injury. The client may not experience pain relief from these routes of administration and may also receive a sudden bolus of medication at some point after administration, when fluid shifts occur. Therefore the IV route is the best choice.
