An explosion of a fuel tanker has resulted in melting of clothing on the driver and extensive full-body burns. The client is brought into the emergency department alert, denying pain, and joking with the staff. Which is the best interpretation of this behavior?

Answer: The situation can be best described as Full-Thickness Burns. Full-thickness burns are referred to as or known as the third-degree burns. Under such type of burn, most layers of skin such as the dermis and epidermis are destroyed severely, and thus the damage can penetrate the layer of the fat that is beneath this skin.
