Which term means reddened (blushed)?

• A. Etiology
• B. Flushed
• C. Expansion
• D. External

Answer: (B)

When describing skin changes, the term that means reddened or blushed is flushed. It describes skin turning red due to increased blood flow in the superficial vessels (vasodilation), which happens with heat, fever, embarrassment, or inflammation. The other terms refer to unrelated ideas: etiology is about the cause of a disease, expansion means getting larger, and external means outside. So the best fit for reddened skin is flushed.
