Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale: This describes a full-thickness burn with eschar formation, not a deep partial-thickness burn.
Choice B rationale: This may indicate a deeper burn involving the subcutaneous tissue, but the absence of blisters makes it less characteristic of a deep partial-thickness burn.
Choice C rationale: This suggests a full-thickness burn with damage to nerve endings, not a deep partial-thickness burn.
Choice D rationale: A deep partial-thickness burn is characterized by a pink or mottled appearance with the presence of blisters. This type of burn involves damage to the epidermis and portions of the dermis, causing pain and sensitivity to touch.

A. White- or flesh-colored papillary growths in the genital area B. Influenza-like symptoms C. Anuria D. Green penile discharge

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale: white-or flesh-colored papillary growths in the genital region is a common finding in human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, not HSV 2 infection.
Choice B rationale: a patient with HSV 2 usually develop influenza-like symptoms such as headache, muscle aches, fever, and generalized body malaise. However, the above symptoms usually subside within a few days to weeks.
Choice C rationale: anuria refers to the absence of urine output indicating renal failure which is not associated with HSV 2 infection.
Choice D rationale: green penile discharge is associated with gonorrhea infection rather than HSV 2 infection.
