affected for this patient, according to rule of nine?

(C) 36%
(D) 707​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Work is said to be done when a force moves an object through a distance in its own direction.

Answer 2

The total body surface area affected is 18%.

• This rule is also known as the Wallace Rule of Nines.
• To evaluate the TBSA involvement in burn patients, trauma and emergency medical professionals use this instrument.
• Patients with severe burns will have significant fluid losses due to the destruction of the skin barrier.
• Measuring the initial burn surface area is crucial in determining the amount of fluid that needs to be administered during resuscitation.
• This technique helps to quickly estimate the severity and IV fluid requirements for burns of the second and third degrees, commonly known as partial thickness and full thickness burns.
• Each upper extremity accounts for 9% of the upper extremities' total 18%.
