A 74-year-old woman is transported to a regional burn center after being rescued from a house fire. Apparently, a space heater was knocked over and an area rug caught fire. The fire quickly spread throughout the house. She did not have any functional smoke detectors and became trapped in a back bedroom. Using the "rule of nines," the burn team estimates that approximately 30% of her TBSA is burned. Most of the burns are thought to involve the entire dermis, and the area looks waxy and white. This type of wound is considered to be: 1. Deep partial-thickness 2. Third-degree 3. Superficial partial-thickness 4. Full-thickness
