Which type of burn affects only the upper layers of the skin and primarily the epidermis?

  1. First Degree Burn

  2. Second Degree Burn

  3. Third Degree Burn

  4. Fourth Degree Burn

The correct answer is: First Degree Burn

A first-degree burn affects only the outer layer of the skin, which is the epidermis. It is characterized by redness, minor swelling, and pain. Second-degree burns extend beyond the epidermis and may affect the underlying layers of the skin. Third-degree burns go even deeper, damaging the entire depth of the skin, while fourth-degree burns can extend into underlying tissue, muscle, or bone. Therefore, the correct answer is A, First Degree Burn, as it specifically mentions that it affects primarily the epidermis.
