Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A jagged cut through the skin or tissue, such as a cut made by a serrated knife, is called a laceration. An abrasion is a scrape of the skin surface, excoriation is an abrasion of the epidermis, and desquamation is flaking or shedding of the outer layers of skin.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
C in the RACE acronym stands for containing or confining the fire. R stands for the rescue of clients who can walk to safety; A is for alarm, reminding those involved to call for assistance; and E is for extinguish, or use fire extinguishers to put out the fire.
