Explanation:

To solve this, we recall burn treatment knowledge:

• First - degree burn: Mild, so submerging in cold water for 10 minutes helps reduce pain and inflammation.
• Second - degree burn: More severe, elevating the burned area can help with swelling and circulation.
• Third - degree burn: Severe (damages all skin layers), cold water can cause further tissue damage, so we avoid submerging in cold water.

Answer:

Second - degree burn: Elevate the burned area.
Third - degree burn: Avoid submerging in cold water.
First - degree burn: Submerge in cold water for 10 minutes.
