Question 1605 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) according to the layers of skin affected. Burn classifications are determined by the depth of tissue damage, which corresponds to the layers of skin affected. First-degree burns only affect the outermost layer of skin (epidermis), second-degree burns affect the epidermis and part of the underlying dermis layer, and third-degree burns destroy all layers of skin and can extend into underlying tissues. The other options are incorrect because burn classification is not based on the area of the body burned (A), the source of heat (C), or the size of the burned area (D). The key factor is the depth of tissue damage, which is classified according to the skin layers affected.
