A nurse is assessing a client who is brought to the emergency room with burn injuries. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a deep partial-thickness burn?

Rationale: A. Deep partial-thickness burns extend into the dermis, appear red to white, may have moist or dry areas, can develop eschar, and are very painful. B. This describes a full-thickness (third-degree) burn, which destroys nerve endings, resulting in absent pain. C. This describes a superficial partial-thickness burn (second-degree), which affects only part of the dermis and presents with pink/red blisters. D. Yellow coloration suggests slough, and this description is more consistent with infection or deeper tissue necrosis, not the classic appearance of deep partial-thickness burns.
