Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 5

Rationale: In general, the ARC provides support to individuals involved in a disaster, whereas FEMA deals with regional responses to disasters, such as issuing presidential declarations, providing monetary relief, and deploying National Guard troops. ARC has been given authority by the federal government to identify and train personnel for a disaster and provide disaster re-lief, including crisis counseling, operating shelters, and handling inquiries from the family.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale: A full-thickness burn involves the epidermis, entire dermis, and epithelial portion of subcutaneous fat layer. Epidermis only describes a superficial burn. Epidermis and deeper dermis describes a partial-thickness burn, and epidermis, entire dermis, and epithelial portion of subcutaneous fat describes a deep partial-thickness burn.
