Explanation:

First Question:

To determine what should not be done for a severe burn, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Covering with a clean cloth is a proper first - aid measure to protect the burn.
• Option b: Calling emergency services is necessary for severe burns.
• Option c: Applying ice directly to a severe burn can cause further tissue damage due to extreme cold, which is harmful.
• Option d: Keeping the victim calm is a standard part of first - aid.

For the primary goal of packing a deep wound:

• Option a: Packing a wound is not mainly for pain prevention. Pain management is usually done with other methods like painkillers.
• Option b: Cleaning the wound is done before packing, and packing is not the primary way to clean.
• Option c: Packing a deep wound is often used to apply pressure and stop bleeding, especially in cases of deep or bleeding wounds.
• Option d: Reducing swelling is not the main purpose of wound packing.

Answer:

c. Apply ice directly to the burn
