For the questions below determine the EXTENT (%) and DEPTH(◦) of the burn

1. Burns covering the RIGHT anterior and posterior arm and forearm and 1/2 of the anterior abdominal wall and genitalia—burn penetrates only the epidermis.

2. Burns covering entire surface of BOTH lower limb and RIGHT upper limb—burn has reached the muscle.

3. Burns covering entire LEFT anterior and posterior region of the abdomen and thorax as well as the entire RIGHT upper limb.

ACCORDING TO , RULE OF NINE

  • front and back of head and neck - 9
  • front and back of each arm -9
  • chest -9
  • abdomen - 9
  • upper back 9
  • lower back 9
  • front and back of lower - 18
  • groin 1

answer 1

percentage of burn

  • RIGHT anterior and posterior arm and forearm - 9%
  • 1/2 of anterior abdominal wall- 9%
  • genitalia - 1%

so total burn percentage is 19%

extent of burn is first degree burn as it involve only epidermis

answer 2

Burns covering entire surface of BOTH lower limb and RIGHT upper limb—burn has reached the muscle.

percentage of burn

  • entire surface of right lower limb -18%
  • entire surface of left lower limb - 18%
  • entire surface of RIGHT upper limb - 9%

burn percentage - 45%

extent of burn is second degree as it include muscle

answer 3

Burns covering entire LEFT anterior and posterior region of the abdomen and thorax as well as the entire RIGHT upper limb.

percentage of burn

  • entire LEFT anterior and posterior region of the abdomen and thorax - 18%
  • right upper limb -9%

burn percenatge is 27%

extent of burn is third degree
