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. “You should purchase dark grasses in case the light bothers your eyes.” B. “Treatment might be interrupted if areas of redness and tenderness develop." C. “Treatments will be given a series of three days on and three days off.” D. "You will have a morning and afternoon session on each treatment day."

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale: Phototherapy can sometimes cause sensitivity to light, and wearing dark glasses can help protect the eyes from excessive light exposure.
Choice B rationale: It is not typical to interrupt phototherapy due to redness and tenderness, as some skin reactions may occur during treatment but can be managed without interruption.
Choice C rationale: The schedule of phototherapy can vary, and the choice of days on and off may not necessarily be fixed in a three-day pattern.
Choice D rationale: The frequency and timing of phototherapy sessions depend on the specific treatment plan prescribed by the healthcare provider.
