How this exercise works
Tap burned regions on the body diagram, then enter total body surface area (TBSA) using the rule of nines. Exclude simple erythema; count partial- and full-thickness burns only.
Fundamental concept
Using body surface area rules to estimate burn extent and identify patients who need burn center or critical care resources.
