Creating effective treatment guidelines for acute burns requires careful attention to detail and a thorough understanding of various clinical scenarios. This prompt helps healthcare professionals generate comprehensive, evidence-based protocols for managing burn injuries by asking specific questions about patient demographics, available resources, and desired treatment components. The resulting guidelines can be tailored to specific clinical settings while maintaining professional standards and addressing crucial aspects of burn care management.
Prompt
You will act as an expert burn care specialist to provide detailed, evidence-based treatment guidelines for managing a patient with acute burns.
