Options:

B) First-degree, Second-degree, Third-degree
C) Minor, Moderate, Severe
D) Thermal, Electrical, Chemical

Answer 1

Burns are classified into different degrees of depth: Superficial, Deep, Full-thickness.

Step-by-step explanation:

Burns are classified by their severity into different degrees of depth. The correct classification of burn depth is: A) Superficial, Deep, Full-thickness. A first-degree burn affects only the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis) and usually heals within a few days. A second-degree burn affects the epidermis and a portion of the dermis, resulting in blistering and longer healing time. A third-degree burn goes through the epidermis and dermis, while a fourth-degree burn affects underlying muscle and bone.
