Question 5 of 5
An adult client is admitted to the emergency department after a burn injury. The burn initially affected the upper half of the client's anterior torso, and there were circumferential burns to the lower half of both of the arms. The client's clothes caught on fire, and the client ran causing subsequent burn injuries to the entire face (anterior half of the head), and the upper half of the posterior torso. Using the rule of nines, the extent of the burn injury would be what percent?
Correct Answer: 31.50%
Rationale: According to the rule of nines, with the initial burn, the upper half of the anterior torso equals 9% and the lower half of both arms equals 9%. The subsequent burn included the anterior half of the head equaling 4.5% and the upper half of posterior torso equaling 9%. This totals 31.5%.
