Remaining Test Time: 01:19:19 Time On This Question: 00:11 You are trying to determine how deep a burn is on a patient’s foot that was exposed to fire when stumbling into a campfire. There is no light other than that from the campfire itself. You are trying to determine the extent of any third degree burns. Which of the following methods would work the best? ◯ Move the patient closer to the fire so that you can examine the foot more clearly. ◯ Skip the assessment of the extent of the burn, wrap the foot loosely in a sterile dressing, and transport. ◯ Move the patient away from the fire and explore the injury site with your gloved hand looking for areas that are burned and pain free. ◯ Move the patient away from the fire using the reduced light as best you can while looking for black areas and asking about the location of pain.
