⢠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
⢠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?
⢠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.
