If a person touches a hot surface and gets burnt then you should _____________________.

• A. Run cool water over the burnt area
• B. Put ice on the burn
• C. Apply an antiseptic ointment on the burn
• D. All of these.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these.

When a person gets burnt the first step is to immediately run cool water over the burnt area, then icing the burnt area helps relieve the irritation caused by the burn and lastly applying an antiseptic ointment on the burn. All burns should be treated quickly to lower the temperature of the burned area and reduce damage to the skin and tissue underneath.
