A superficial thickness burn involves the epidermis only. A superficial partial thickness burn involves the epidermis and the dermis. A deep thickness burn involves the entire layer of dermis, and is more severe than a superficial partial thickness burn. Question: A child was involved in a vehicular accident and sustained burns on the lower extremities. Examination reveals a dry, waxy, whitish appearance of both lower legs and some visualization of the tibialis anterior. This type of burn would be classified as a: superficial thickness burn. superficial partial thickness burn. deep partial thickness burn. full thickness burn. Correct Explanation: Types of burn injuries are chemical, electric, radiation, or thermal and are classified by the depth of damaged skin it caused. Full thickness burns involve the destruction of all skin elements with coagulation of subdermal plexus, muscle, and or tendons. Symptoms of superficial partial thickness burns include: moist areas that are red to ivory white in color, blisters forming almost immediately, and painful to touch. Since the pain receptors are intact, pain is perceived. Superficial thickness burns appear erythematous without blisters and usually have local pain. Deep partial thickness burns hav
