What assessment is best for distinguishing between hypoxemia and hypercapnia?

A. When performing hand hygiene, the hands should be held lower than the elbows to allow water to flow downward, preventing the contamination of the forearms.

B. The water temperature should be warm, but not hot, to prevent skin irritation. Extremely hot water is not necessary for effective hand hygiene.

C. Hands and arms should be rubbed together to create friction during hand washing. However, drying should be done with a clean paper towel or air dryer, not by rubbing the hands and arms together.

D. The correct amount of liquid soap for hand hygiene is typically 4 to 5 mL. This is the appropriate amount to ensure effective coverage and cleaning of the hands.

A. A superficial partial thickness burn affects only the outermost layer of skin (epidermis) and causes redness and pain, but it doesn't usually cause blisters.

B. A full-thickness burn involves the destruction of all layers of the skin, including the epidermis, dermis, and sometimes underlying tissue. This type of burn typically causes a white or charred appearance and may not be painful due to nerve damage.

C. Dermal thickness burn is not a standard classification of burn depth. Burns are typically classified into superficial, partial-thickness, and full-thickness categories.

D. A deep partial-thickness burn involves damage to both the epidermis and dermis, causing redness, swelling, and blistering. This is the most likely classification for a sunburn with redness and blistering.
