Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Second-degree, which are superficial, partial-thickness burns, are moist, pinkish or mottled-red color, with blisters and some blanching; they are caused by flash burn or hot liquids. First-degree burns are superficial, partial-thickness burns that are dry with mild swelling with blisters after 24 hours, with pinkish-red color and blanching with pressure; they are usually caused by sun and steam. Second-degree burns with deep dermal, partial-thickness are dry, pale, and waxy, with no blanching. They are usually caused by sun, steam, hot solids, flame, and intense radiant injury. Third-degree burns with full thickness are leathery, cracked, avascular, white, cherry red, or black and need skin grafting. They are caused by sustained flame, electrical, chemical, and steam.
