A nurse in an emergency department is caring for a client who has burns on the front and back of both arms. Using the rule of nines, the nurse should document burns to which percentage of the client’s total body surface area (TBSA)?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (18 percent). The rule of nines is used to estimate the percentage of total body surface area (TBS
A) affected by burns. According to this rule, each arm represents 9% of the TBSA (9% front + 9% back = 18%).
Therefore, burns on both front and back of both arms would total 18% TBSA.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the TBSA affected by burns on both arms.
Choice A (9 percent) represents the TBSA of one arm, not both.

Choices C (36 percent) and D (54 percent) overestimate the TBSA since they do not consider the rule of nines for the arms.
