BCEN CEN Practice Question

A patient has sustained a chemical burn from a strong alkaline agent. The emergency nurse should recognize that this type of burn is often more severe than one caused by a strong acid primarily because alkalis lead to which of the following?

  • Liquefaction necrosis, allowing for deeper tissue penetration

  • Fibrinoid necrosis, associated with immune-complex deposition

  • Coagulation necrosis, which forms a protective eschar

  • Caseous necrosis, resulting in a cheese-like tissue appearance
