Question 1586 Deck Safety

You are correct, the correct answer is B) cover the burns with thick, sterile dressings. The reasoning for this is that with third-degree burns, the skin is severely damaged and the burn area needs to be protected from further injury. Covering the area with thick, sterile dressings helps prevent infection and further damage. The other options are incorrect - submerging in cold water can cause hypothermia, breaking blisters and removing dead tissue can increase the risk of infection, and walking to increase circulation could further damage the burned area.
