Initial management of a burn is nursing intensive and focuses primarily on stopping the burning process, maintaining homeostasis by keeping the patient warm, and replacing lost fluid and electrolytes. As healing progresses, nurses meet the critical needs of the patient and must skillfully manage pain levels, perform burn care, prevent infection, help the patient meet increased nutrient requirements, and address psychological concerns with the goal to restore health and function to the highest possible level, thus the aim of this study is evaluate nurse's practices regarding initial burns management. Methodology: A quantitative (one pre experimental) design had been adapted through the present study with the application of pre-posttest approach during the period of 17th October, 2020 to 20th March, 2022. A non-probability (convenient) sample of 24 nurses who work at burns and plastic surgery center at Azady teaching hospital. The interventional program and study instrument is designed based on of the nurse's practice assessment need, review of literature, scientific lecturer and previous study.
