According to the Rule of Nines, what is the burn percentage of a patient with burns to the front of the torso and the front side of both arms?
18 percent
23 percent
27 percent
36 percent
So the anterior portion of the torso is composed the anterior chest and abdomen which are both 9% each so we'd assign the torso burn 18%. The arms in total have 9%, but because of it only burning the anterior portions, we'd assign 4.5 for each arm. The combines total would be 27%.
