Question 1597 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) immerse the arm in cold water. For a second-degree burn, the recommended first aid is to immerse the affected area in cool (not cold) water for 10-20 minutes to relieve pain and prevent further tissue damage. This helps reduce swelling and cool the burn. The other options are incorrect - scrubbing the burn can cause further injury, draining blisters risks infection, and applying ointment should be avoided on serious burns. Proper cooling and wound care are the priorities for treating a second-degree burn until the patient can receive professional medical attention.
