🔍 Key Concepts

• Second-degree burns (partial-thickness burns) – what happens to the skin and common signs (like blisters) • Basic first aid priorities for burns: stop the burning, cool the area, protect from infection, avoid further damage • What you should never do with burn blisters in first aid situations

💭 Think About

• Which options involve cooling the burn safely, and which might cause additional tissue damage (for example, very long immersion or extreme cold)? • How should intact blisters from a second-degree burn be managed in first aid – should they be opened or left alone? • For a small-area second-degree burn, is it more important to use ointment right away, or to cool and then protect the burn?

✅ Before You Answer

• Double-check what standard first aid guidance says about opening blisters from burns. • Think about the safe duration and method of cooling a burn – does prolonged immersion for 1–2 hours sound appropriate, or could that create other problems? • Confirm whether burn ointments or creams are recommended immediately on fresh second-degree burns, or if a clean, dry covering is preferred first.
