Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Complications of deep or widespread burns can include: Bacterial infection, which may lead to a bloodstream infection (sepsis) Fluid loss, including low blood volume (hypovolemia) Dangerously low body temperature (hypothermia)
Detailed explanation-2: -Burn patients are at higher risk for all types of infections secondary to loss of the skin barrier as well as immunosuppression experienced because of a systemic inflammatory response triggered by the injured tissue.
