extremities. Examination reveals a dry, waxy, whitish appearance of both lower legs
andsome visualization of the tibialis anterior. This type of burn would be classified as a:

Explanation:
Types of burn injuries are chemical, electric, radiation, or thermal and are classified by
the depth of damaged skin it caused. Full thickness burns involve the destruction of all
