Feedback
1. This will provide comfort to the area.
2. The teen is at risk for dehydration because of the amount of fluid being released from the burned skin.
3. The medication will help reduce inflammation to the area.
4. All of the above are appropriate for second-degree sunburns.

Answer to Question 2

D
Toddlers should never be left alone near a swimming pool or in a bathroom. Most toddlers love water and want to play in it, but they have no depth perception. Telling a toddler not to play in the water is not assurance that they will avoid the danger.
