Question

a burn that affects nerve endings is a (1 point) first - degree burn. second - degree burn. third - degree burn. fourth - degree burn.

Explanation:

First - degree burns affect only the outer layer of skin and do not damage nerve endings. Second - degree burns involve the top two layers of skin and may damage some nerve endings but not deeply. Third - degree burns damage all layers of the skin and often damage nerve endings. Fourth - degree burns are the most severe, going through the skin and affecting underlying tissues like muscle and bone, also damaging nerve endings. Since nerve - ending damage is characteristic of third - degree burns (and more severe burns), the answer is third - degree burn.

Answer:

third - degree burn.
