Question Image

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The nurse should estimate the percentage of body surface area affected by the burn injury using the Rule of Nines. According to this rule, specific body areas are assigned percentages: head (9%), each arm (9% total), each leg (18% total), front torso (18%), back torso (18%), and perineum (1%). By adding these percentages, a total of 100% is obtained. For severe burns, the nurse should estimate using the Rule of Nines, making D (8%) the most appropriate choice as it closely aligns with the total percentage of body surface area affected by the burn.

Choices A, B, C, and E do not align with the Rule of Nines and would not accurately estimate the extent of the burn injury.
