Question 3 of 5
A nurse assesses a burn injury and determines that the client sustained a fullthickness fourth-degree burn if which of the following is noted at the site of injury?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Fourth-degree burns extend beyond the skin into underlying tissues (muscle, bone) and are characterized by charring due to severe tissue destruction. Wet, shiny surfaces or blisters indicate less severe burns (e.g., second-degree), while a dry surface may suggest third-degree.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse assesses the client's burn injury and determines that the client sustained a partial-thickness deep burn. Based on this determination, which finding did the nurse note?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A partial-thickness deep burn (deep second-degree) extends into the dermis, often appearing dry or waxy due to deeper tissue damage, unlike the wet, weeping surface of superficial burns. Charring and no sensation suggest full-thickness burns.
