  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 3

  4. 4

The correct answer is: 2

A pressure ulcer with partial-thickness skin loss that looks like a blister or shallow crater is characteristic of a stage 2 pressure ulcer. In a stage 1 pressure ulcer, the skin is intact but may appear red or discolored. Stage 3 pressure ulcers involve full-thickness skin loss, extending into the subcutaneous tissue. Stage 4 pressure ulcers are the most severe, involving full-thickness skin loss with damage to muscle, bone, or supporting structures. Therefore, the correct answer is B - stage 2.
