🔍 Key Concepts

• First aid for burns (general principles) • Special precautions for electrical burns vs. thermal burns • When to avoid water, ointments, or removing tissue on burns

💭 Think About

• Think about what is happening inside the body with an electrical burn, not just on the skin. Which choice protects the area without causing more damage? • Which option focuses on protecting the airway, circulation, and preventing infection until professionals can take over? • Which options might actually worsen the injury by cooling too much, adding chemicals, or disturbing damaged tissue?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices involve adding substances (water, ointment, sprays) directly to the burn and whether that is recommended for electrical burns. • Check if any option tells you to remove or disturb skin/tissue—is that ever part of basic first aid? • Look for the answer that emphasizes gentle protection and prompt medical evaluation, since electrical burns can have serious internal effects.
