  1. A

    Adult Rule of Nines

  2. B

    Lund–Browder chart

In an adult, the entire front of one arm is burned. The whole arm is approximately 9%9\% of TBSA, and the front is half of the arm's total area. What is the approximate TBSA percentage for the burn? Enter the numerical value in percentage points.

Why might a clinician document “deep partial-thickness” rather than use only the traditional term “second-degree”?

  1. A

    It identifies whether a burn is counted in TBSA.

  2. B

    It distinguishes superficial from deep partial-thickness injury more specifically than “second-degree.”

  3. C

    It adjusts body-region proportions for age.

  4. D

    It specifies the percentage of body surface burned.

  1. A

    The patient's age

  2. B

    Associated injuries

  3. C

    Medical conditions

  4. D

    Possible inhalation injury

According to the American Burn Association referral guidance, select all cases that warrant burn-center consultation with consideration for transfer.

  1. A

    A thermal full-thickness burn

  2. B

    A partial-thickness burn involving at least 10%10\% TBSA

  3. C

    A deep partial-thickness burn involving a hand

  4. D

    A superficial burn involving 2%2\% TBSA

A patient has a small deep partial-thickness burn over a major joint. Does the small size alone rule out burn-center consultation? Explain using the referral guidance.

14
True or false
1 point

True or false: An early estimate of burn depth can be uncertain, so an uncertain injury should be documented and appropriately assessed rather than assumed to be minor.

  1. A

    True

  2. B

    False

  2. B

    Superficial partial-thickness

  3. C

    Deep partial-thickness

  4. D

    Full-thickness

Why might a clinician document “deep partial-thickness” instead of only using the traditional term “second-degree”?

  1. A

    It indicates the exact percentage of TBSA involved.

  2. B

    It replaces the need to assess burn depth.

  3. C

    It describes tissue injury more specifically than the traditional label “second-degree.”

  4. D

    It identifies whether the injury was caused by heat or chemicals.

Which method is preferred for estimating TBSA in a child because it accounts for age-related differences in body proportions?

  1. A

    Adult Rule of Nines, because it uses the same regional percentages for all ages

  2. B

    Lund–Browder chart, because it adjusts body-region proportions for age

  3. C

    Palmar method, because it changes the percentage represented by the hand as a child grows

  4. D

    Adult Rule of Nines, because it adjusts its percentages for a child’s age

A patient has a modest-size burn but may also have an inhalation injury. Which conclusion best reflects how burn risk should be assessed?

  1. A

    The burn should be considered low risk because TBSA alone determines severity.

  2. B

    Possible inhalation injury is an additional risk factor, so TBSA alone is not enough to assess the patient.

  3. C

    Inhalation injury matters only when the skin burn is full-thickness.

  4. D

    The presence of possible inhalation injury changes the burn’s TBSA estimate.
