An injured person has burns. What should you do?
First aid
Explanation
To properly treat a **burn**, it is important to follow certain steps to avoid complications and aid in the recovery of the injured person.
- **Do not remove clothing** that is stuck to the burn, as this can cause further damage to the affected skin.
- **Do not clean the wound** directly, as this could further irritate the burned area or cause infections.
- The correct approach is to **cover the burn with moist gauze**. This helps keep the area clean and cool, and relieves pain. Additionally, the moist bandage protects the burn from infections and prevents it from drying out too quickly, which could cause more pain.
By following these steps, you ensure proper initial care of the burn until the injured person can receive professional medical attention.
