His surgeon recommends skin grafting procedure as his medical-surgical intervention. The surgeon explained that they are going to perform full-thickness graft that involves removing or harvesting all the epidermis and dermis from the donor site that is usually taken from the abdomen, groin, forearm, or area above the clavicle. The small pieces of skin that is removed from the donor sites will be used to cover the burned area.
