1. An adult client experiences a gasoline tank fire when riding a motorcycle and is
admitted tothe emergency department (ED) with full thickness burns to all surfaces of
both lower extremities. What percentage of body surface area should the nurse
document in the electronic medical record (EMR)?
• 9%
• 18 %
• 36 %
• 45 %
• Rational: according to the rule of nines, the anterior and posterior surfaces of
onelower extremity is designated as 18 %of total body surface area (TBSA),
so bothextremities equals 36% TBSA, other options are incorrect.
2. The nurse is preparing a 4-day-old I infant with a serum bilirubin level of 19 mg/dl
(325micromol/L) for discharge from the hospital. When teaching the parents about
home phototherapy, which instruction should the nurse include in the discharge
teaching plan?

shouldbe repositioned every two hours. The position changes ensure that the
phototherapy lights reach all of the body surface areas. Bathing, feedings,
and diaper changes are ways for the parents to bond with the infant, and can
, occur away from the treatment. Feedings need to occur more frequently than
every 4 hours to prevent dehydration. The infant should wear only a diaper
so that the skin is exposed to the phototherapy.
