From my personal knowledge, if someone gets a third degree burn they may need to be hospitalized. A 3rd degree burn damages nerve endings which are responsible for pain. In order to treat the burn I would make sure that whatever is diagnosed (dx) at the hospital and if any treatment(tx) is needed I follow up with. I would think the provider provides some type of antibiotics or cream. The recovery would be likely leave a scar and it may take at least 3 weeks to heal. Something that could go wrong is that it can cause shock and be life threatening if it is not treated properly. using medical terminology how should I respond to this student's knowledge of a third-degree burn?

First, second, and third degree" is one way to classify the severity of burns. "Partial and full thickness" is another. Relate "partial thickness" and "full thickness" to the structure of the skin and to the classification scheme of first, second, and third degree. Be specific about the integumentary structures/layers that are affected in each. 2. Why do second and third degree burns lead to prominent scars? Be specific about the cellular processes that lead to scar tissue development. Be sure to refer to the layers of skin and cells that are involved in this process and how this differs from repair seen in less invasive injuries. 3. What accessory organs of the integumentary system were affected in this case study? What are the ongoing deficits that this patient might experience as a result of this damage? 4. The integumentary system is highly affected in this case, but what other organ systems are affected as a result of these injuries? Be specific.....
