A triage nurse in the emergency department admits a male client with second-degree burns on the anterior and posterior portions of both legs. Using the attached image and based on the Rule of Nines, what percentage of the body is burned?

To calculate the Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) using the Rule of Nines, you must add the percentages for each specific region burned. According to the chart provided: Each entire leg (anterior and posterior) represents 18% of the total body surface area. The breakdown for one leg is 9% for the anterior (front) and 9% for the posterior (back). Since this client has burns on both the anterior and posterior portions of both legs, the calculation is as follows: Left Leg (Front 9% + Back 9%) = 18% Right Leg (Front 9% + Back 9%) = 18% Total: 18% + 18% = 36%
