An adult client was burned in an explosion. the burn initially affected the client’s entire face (anterior half of the head) and the upper half of the anterior torso, and there were circumferential burns to the lower half of both arms. the client’s clothes caught on fire, and the client ran, causing subsequent burn injuries to the posterior surface of the head and the upper half of the posterior torso. using the rule of nines, what would be the extent of the burn injury? 1. 18% 2. 24% 3. 36% 4. 48%

3. 36%

Explanation:

The rule of nines gives the percentage of burn and it provide insights on treatment decisions amd steps to take next such as fluid resuscitation. It helps to ascertain If the client should be transfered to a burn unit. It also helps in determining the body surface area on an adult that has been burned.

In the rules of nines the initial burn and the subsequent burn percent of the anterior half of the head is 4.5%, and the initial burn and the subsequent burn percent of the upper half of the anterior and posterior torso is 9% while the initial burn and the subsequent burn percent of the lower half of both arms is 9%.

On addition of all the percentage for both initial and subsequent burn, it will give a total of 36%

I hope this helps
