Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Burn location is the priority, as burns to the face, neck, and upper extremities can compromise airway, respiratory function, or mobility. Age, cause, and medical history are relevant but secondary to immediate severity assessment based on location and depth.
Question 5 of 5

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Asking about the emotional impact of a skin condition is appropriate and empathetic, supporting holistic care. Questions about diet, stress, and sleep are also relevant, as they can influence or be affected by skin conditions. The document incorrectly marks C as requiring intervention, but no intervention is needed for any of these questions.
