What is the result of a first degree burn in terms of skin condition?

  1. Blisters and open skin

  2. Redness and irritation

  3. Scarring

  4. Permanent damage

The correct answer is: Blisters and open skin

A first-degree burn is considered a mild burn that affects only the outer layer of the skin, the epidermis. The main characteristics of a first-degree burn include redness, pain, and irritation. Blisters and open skin typically occur in more severe burns, such as second or third-degree burns. Scarring and permanent damage are also more likely to occur in deeper burns that go beyond the outer layer of the skin. Therefore, in the case of a first-degree burn, blisters and open skin are not the typical result, making option A the correct answer.
