Question

barney sat on a hot camp stove while on a camping trip. the burn was painful and blistered. his was what type of burn?
a first degree
b fifth degree
c second degree
d fourth degree
e third degree

Explanation:

• First - degree burns: Affect only the outer layer of skin (epidermis). Symptoms include redness and pain but no blisters.
• Second - degree burns: Involve the epidermis and part of the dermis. Symptoms are pain, redness, and blistering.
• Third - degree burns: Damage all layers of the skin. May be less painful (nerve endings damaged) and can appear white or charred.
• Fourth - degree burns: Extend into underlying tissues like muscle and bone.
• Fifth - degree burns: Not a standard medical classification for common burn types.

Since Barney's burn is painful and blistered, it matches the symptoms of a second - degree burn.

Answer:

C. second degree
