The striker's loan deal from Portsmouth is up shortly and he has struggled to hold down a place in the Clarets' starting XI.
However, he was recalled against Bolton and took his chance by finding the target in the 56th minute.
It was only Nugent's third goal for Burnley but a welcome one at that and manager Owen Coyle has already indicated he would like to hold onto him.
Bolton made the breakthrough with a superb free-kick from Matt Taylor but were again unable to keep a clean sheet.
Steven Fletcher had a half chance for Burnley in the ninth minute but scooped his effort over the bar after Chris Eagles and Michael Duff had linked up.
Back came Bolton and Chris Basham tested Brian Jensen from distance with a powerful shot in the 14th minute.
Burnley then unsuccessfully appealed for a penalty after Nugent went to ground following a tussle with Gary Cahill.
Referee Chris Foy would have none of it and waved play on to the annoyance of the home supporters.
Bolton launched a swift counter-attack and Kevin Davies tried to curl the ball beyond Jensen in the 21st minute.
It was a superb effort by the striker but finished marginally wide of the post.
Bolton kept up the pressure and a minute later Tamir Cohen thumped a shot into the goalkeeper's body from 25 yards.
Taylor stepped up and delivered a magnificent free-kick from 20 yards that beat Jensen at his near post.
