In case of a severe burn, why should rings, watches, or tight items be removed early during first aid?

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

To prevent restriction due to swelling of tissues

A severe burn causes surrounding tissues to swell rapidly as fluid leaks into the affected area.

If rings, watches, or tight items are not removed early, the swelling can cause them to constrict the area, cutting off blood circulation and causing further tissue damage.

Removing them early is therefore a preventive first-aid step, not related to appearance, temperature, or bleeding control.

Therefore, the correct answer is to prevent restriction due to swelling of tissues.
