🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic first aid for burns – especially how to safely cool the burned area • What to avoid with burns – things that can trap heat, damage skin, or cause infection • Difference between cool and warm water in treating fresh burns

💭 Think About

• For a fresh surface burn, what is your immediate goal: remove heat, prevent infection, or close it off from the air? • Which options might actually make the burn worse by trapping heat, irritating the skin, or drying it out? • Think about standard first-aid training: what temperature of water is recommended, and do you add soap or other powders right away?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice focuses on gently cooling the burn rather than heating it or sealing it in • Eliminate any options that involve tight bandaging or powders/soaps on a fresh burn • Confirm that the method you select would not damage the skin further and is consistent with basic first-aid practice
