Answer to Question 1

2, 4
A full-thickness burn is a third-degree burn. A third-degree burn exhibits charred vessels visible under eschar, and the nerve endings are dead. There is no pain, and blisters are rare and do not increase in size. There is no blanching with pressure. Edema is not present with this type of burn injury.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 5
HIV can be transmitted only under specific conditions that permit contact with infected body fluids. Common high-risk sources are infected blood via contaminated needlestick or sharp object, contact with infected breast milk, mucous secretions (vaginal, semen), and exposure to blood in the laboratory. HIV is not transmitted through tears, saliva, urine, emesis, sputum, feces, or sweat.
