What is considered a mild heat-related illness that causes muscle pains and spasms due to electrolyte imbalance? What is considered a partial-thickness burn? Which type of burn causes erythema, tenderness, and physical sensitivity, but no scar development occurs? An adult has burns on his back, left arm and hand, and left foot and leg. Using the Rule of Nines, estimate the percentage of total burn surface area. Which animal is not a common carrier of rabies? What is a symptom of a concussion? What is a symptom of a cerebrovascular accident? What is not a sign of a partial airway obstruction? What is a possible cause of syncope? What is not a typical symptom of shock?
