Question 1592 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) Immerse the arm in cold water for 1 to 2 hours, apply burn ointment, and bandage. This is the proper first aid treatment for a second-degree burn to a small area of the lower arm. The key steps are: 1) Immerse the arm in cold water for 1 to 2 hours to cool the burn and reduce pain and swelling. This helps limit the damage and promote healing. 2) After cooling, apply a burn ointment to the affected area to help protect the skin. 3) Lightly bandage the area to keep it clean. The other options are incorrect because: A) Applying ointment first without cooling the burn is not the proper initial treatment. B) Opening blisters can increase the risk of infection. D) Opening blisters should be avoided in this case.
