3.Answer the following Question by summarizing the information text:
 What are the common causes of burns?
Thermal Burns: Burns caused by contact with flames, hot surfaces, hot liquids, and other sources of high
heat.
Radiation burns: Burns caused by overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.
Chemical burns: Burns caused by contact with chemicals, such as acids, bleach, and other household
cleaning products.
Electrical burns: Burns caused by rubbing against a hard surface, such as a carpet or road, or due to
excessive rubbing or friction between two body parts.
 What are the types of burns?
First-degree burns: These burns affect the top layer of skin (epidermis) and usually cause redness, pain,
and mild swelling. They can be caused by brief exposure to heat, sunburn, or a mild chemical burn. First-
degree burns generally heal on their own within a few days without leaving scars.
Second-degree burns: These burns affect the epidermis and the layer beneath it (dermis) and can cause
blisters, severe pain, redness, and swelling. Second-degree burns can be caused by exposure to hot
liquids, flames, or chemicals. They generally take longer to heal and may require medical attention to
prevent infection and scarring.
Third-degree burns: These burns are the most severe and affect all layers of skin, as well as the tissues
underneath. Third-degree burns can cause the skin to appear white or blackened, and they may not be
painful due to nerve damage. They can be caused by prolonged exposure to flames, hot liquids, or
electricity. Third-degree burns require immediate medical attention and may require skin grafting to promote
healing.
 What should we do for burns?
For first-degree burns: Remove the person from the source of heat or stop the burning process. Run cool
water over the burned area or apply a clean, damp cloth to the area to relieve pain and reduce swelling.
Cover the burn with a clean, dry bandage or dressing.
For second-degree burns: Follow the same steps as for first-degree burns, but do not break any blisters that
may have formed. Seek medical attention if the burn covers a large area, affects a sensitive area (such as
the face or genitals), or is accompanied by symptoms such as fever, chills, or severe pain.
For third-degree burns: Call for emergency medical assistance immediately. Do not remove any clothing that
may be stuck to the burned area, and do not apply any ointments or other substances to the burn. Cover the
burn with a clean, dry cloth or dressing to protect it from contamination and reduce the risk of infection.
