Question 1601 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) second-degree burn. The description of the burn - reddening of the skin, blistering, and swelling - is indicative of a second-degree burn. Second-degree burns involve damage to the epidermis (outer layer of skin) and the dermis (inner layer of skin), causing redness, pain, and blistering. This is in contrast to a first-degree burn (only affecting the epidermis) or a third-degree burn (full thickness skin damage). The other options are incorrect because a "major burn" (A) would typically involve a larger area of the body, and a "blister burn" (B) and "secondary burn" (C) are not standard medical terminology for this type of burn injury.
