Which characteristic is true of a third-degree burn?


It occurs at the surface skin level.
It can be caused by too much sun.
It is the most minimal burn.
It requires immediate medical help.

Answer 1

A third degree burn is the most severe stage of injury, as all layers of skin are likely to have been damaged, as well as muscles, tendons, ligaments and possibly organs. Generally a third degree burn will affect the reticular dermis, which is the deepest layer of skin, however the term “fourth degree” has been attributed to the actual damage of tissues. Regardless, any burn beyond a second degree is technically classified as a third degree burn and will require serious medical attention.

With third degree burns, the coloration of the skin is closer to a white hue as the wound gets deeper. However, as first and second degree burns are painful in nature, third degree burns are not, due to the serious damage done to the nerves. Because of this painless characteristic, third degree burns are incredibly dangerous in regard to timing, as they can lead to shock and ultimately death.

Third degree burns require immediate emergency medical attention. Burn recovery will require sterile environment s as the possibility of infection is high, especially with tetanus. Scarring is a certainty and in almost all cases of third degree burns it is necessary for the victim to receive skin grafts.

So it's D.
