Question 1 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client who has sustained severe burn injuries in a grease fire. The nurse shades in a diagram indicating the burned surface areas. Using the Rule of Nines, the nurse should estimate that the client has burned what percentage of body surface area? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 31.5
Rationale: Using the Rule of Nines, the anterior trunk is 18%, each upper limb (upper arm) is 4.5%, and each forearm is 2.25%. The calculation yields 24.75% for anterior and 6.75% for posterior, totaling 31.5% of body surface area burned.
