Blistering: Blistering is characteristic of second-degree (partial-thickness) burns, not first-degree burns.

Leathery skin: Leathery or tough skin is a sign of a third-degree (full-thickness) burn, which extends through the dermis.

Waxy skin: Waxy, white, or charred skin is seen in deep burns, including third- and fourth-degree burns, not first-degree burns.

Classified as skeletal, cardiac, and smooth: These classifications apply to muscle tissue, not adipose tissue.

Described as striated and voluntary: Striated and voluntary characteristics describe skeletal muscle, not adipose tissue.

Classified as endocrine and exocrine: Glands are classified as endocrine (hormone-secreting) or exocrine (secreting substances through ducts), but adipose tissue is connective tissue.

Appear yellow: Yellow skin is often due to jaundice (bilirubin accumulation) or carotene deposits, not keratinization.

Appear cyanotic: Cyanosis is a bluish discoloration due to hypoxia, not keratinization.

Have been replaced by connective tissue: Keratinized epidermal cells are still part of the skin, whereas connective tissue replacement occurs in scarring or wound healing.

It is due to too much glucose in the cells: Diabetes is characterized by high blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin action, not excessive glucose within the cells.

Very few people have the disease: Diabetes is a common chronic disease, affecting millions worldwide.

Lifestyle choices (diet and exercise) have no effect on it: Lifestyle choices significantly impact diabetes management, particularly for Type 2 DM, where diet and exercise help control blood sugar levels.

They give the body essential amino acids: Carbohydrates do not provide amino acids; proteins are the primary source of amino acids.

They give the body quick energy: Simple carbohydrates (monosaccharides) provide quick energy as they are rapidly absorbed and metabolized.

They give the body nonessential amino acids: Carbohydrates do not contribute to amino acid supply; nonessential amino acids can be synthesized by the body.

Connective tissue: Connective tissue provides support and structure (e.g., bone, tendons, fat) but does not contract.

Epithelial tissue: Epithelial tissue covers surfaces and lines organs but does not cause movement.

Nervous tissue: Nervous tissue transmits signals but does not directly cause movement.

Spleen: The spleen primarily functions in blood filtration and immune response, not glycogen storage.

Brain: The brain uses glucose as its main energy source but does not store glycogen in significant amounts.

Pancreas: The pancreas regulates blood sugar by producing insulin and glucagon, but it does not store glycogen.

Sterile sheets pull water out of the burn site: Sterile sheets help maintain a clean environment but do not significantly draw fluids from the wound.

He is thirsty: While burn patients may feel thirsty due to dehydration, IV fluids are given to restore lost fluids, not just to satisfy thirst.

He has not had anything to drink since the accident: Oral hydration is not sufficient in severe burn cases due to the large fluid loss and the need for rapid replacement through IV fluids.
