A 56-year-old female presents with superficial partial-thickness
burns to the anterior head and neck, front and back of the left
arm, front of the right arm, posterior trunk, front and back of the
right leg, and back of the left leg.
Calculate the total body surface area percentage that is burned
using the Rule of Nines. Correct Answers 63%
The Rule of Nines is a rapid method used during the prehospital
and emergent phase of care. The body is divided into regions
that present 9%, or multiples of 9, with the exception of the
perineum, which is 1% of BSA (body surface area). The face
and back of the head are 4.5% each, so the entire head is 9%, the
anterior and posterior portion of the arm is 9%, and the total for
,each leg is 18%. Anterior head and neck (4.5%), front and back
of the left arm (9%), front of the right arm (4.5%), posterior
trunk (18%), front and back of the right leg (18%), back of the
left leg (9%) which equals 63%.
