Final answer:

No proforation or serosal tear is considered a full thickness or partial thickness tear, and it cannot be determined without either.

Step-by-step explanation:

No perforation or serosal tear is considered a full thickness or partial thickness tear. Both full thickness tear and partial thickness tear involve a disruption in the layers of a tissue. In the context of the gastrointestinal tract, a full thickness tear involves a complete disruption of all layers of the intestinal wall, while a partial thickness tear involves a disruption of only some layers. Therefore, if there is no perforation or serosal tear, it cannot be determined whether it is a full thickness tear or a partial thickness tear.
