Question

An explosion of a fuel tanker has resulted in melting of clothing on the driver and extensive full-body burns. The client is brought into the emergency department alert, denying pain, and joking with the staff. Which is the best interpretation of this behavior?

Answer 1

Answer: The situation can be best described as Full-Thickness Burns. Full-thickness burns are referred to as or known as the third-degree burns. Under such type of burn, most layers of skin such as the dermis and epidermis are destroyed severely , and thus the damage can penetrate the layer of the fat that is beneath this skin.
