Paramedic Interview Question:

Tell me how you can treat a person suffering from burn?

If it is a minor burn, then cool the burn by immersing it into the cold water.

First-degree burn:
☛ Cooling will reduces swelling by conducting heat away
☛ Use sterile gauze bandage to cover the burn
☛ Give over-the-counter pain killer

Third-degree burn:
☛ Do not expose large severe burns in cold water or running tap
☛ Don't remove burned clothing it could make burn more severe
☛ Check for signs of circulation and begin CPR if there is no sign
☛ Cover the area of the burn
☛ Give a tetanus shot
