Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Administering pain medication
Pain control is important but secondary to ensuring the airway is clear.

B. Providing emotional support to the client
While necessary, emotional support is not an immediate priority during the acute phase of burn care.

C. Applying a topical burn ointment
This is appropriate after stabilization, not before airway and breathing are assessed.

D. Assessing the client's airway and breathing
Airway and breathing take top priority in burn clients, especially if the burns involve the face, neck, or chest. Inhalation injury, edema, or airway obstruction can be life-threatening and must be assessed immediately.
