Which severity category does a burn involving all layers of the skin fall under?

First Degree Burn
Second Degree Burn
Third Degree Burn
Fourth Degree Burn

The correct answer is: First Degree Burn

A burn involving all layers of the skin falls under the category of a Third Degree Burn. This type of burn is also referred to as a full-thickness burn because it affects the epidermis, dermis, and potentially deeper tissues. In contrast, a First Degree Burn affects only the outer layer of the skin (epidermis), while a Second Degree Burn affects the epidermis and part of the dermis. A Fourth Degree Burn extends beyond the skin layers and may involve muscles, tendons, or bones, which is more severe than a burn involving all skin layers. Therefore, the correct answer is Third Degree Burn, as it accurately describes a burn involving all layers of the skin.
