🔍 Key Concepts

• First aid for burns (especially second-degree burns) • Difference between cooling a burn and treating the skin • Why you should avoid breaking blisters or damaging burned tissue

💭 Think About

• Which option focuses on gently cooling and protecting the burn rather than rubbing, scrubbing, or puncturing the skin? • What are the risks of infection if you scrub the burn or open any blisters? • Which treatments are usually done only by medical professionals rather than as basic first aid on board?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which options might increase infection risk (scrubbing, draining blisters, opening the skin). • Identify which choice provides immediate, gentle cooling without chemicals or abrasion. • Eliminate any option that involves breaking blisters or aggressively cleaning burned skin.
