N2  - Tap water scald burns are common injuries to persons with disabilities, young children, and the elderly. A case is reported of an elderly woman with a physical and neurological handicap who while bathing received partial and full thickness (tap water) scald burns covering 20% of her total body surface area. This life-threatening injury could have been prevented with a temperature-controlling water valve.     <p></p>    <p>Language: en</p>
