Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Deep partial-thickness burns involve the entire dermis, sparing skin appendages such as hair folli-cles and sweat glands. These wounds look waxy white. First-degree burns are red and have no blisters. Superficial burns involve fluid-filled blisters. Third-degree burns are dry and have a leathery appearance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The rule of nines estimates the total body surface area burned, not the depth of burn injury. It does not estimate the degree of systemic involvement. The possibility of infection is 100.
