A parent calls the nurse to report that their toddler has just been burned on the arm. What should the nurse advise the parent to do first?

Run cool water over the burned area, and then wrap it in a clean cloth. Rub the burned area with an antibacterial ointment, and then call the child’s health care provider (HCP).
