Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Superficial partial-thickness burns are characterized by the presence of blisters, mild edema, and the ability to easily blanch. The affected area may also be painful and tender to the touch. While the skin may be moist due to serous fluid leaking from the blisters, it is not typically dry or leathery in appearance.
