Which of the following statements is true regarding changes in the Rule of Nines for infants compared to adults?

The correct statement about changes in the Rule of Nines for infants compared to adults is that legs represent a smaller total body surface area (TBSA) in infants. In infants, the proportion of body surface area attributed to the legs is smaller than in adults. This is due to the relative size differences where in infants, a larger portion of their body surface area is taken up by the head compared to their legs.

In adults, the head accounts for a smaller percentage of overall TBSA, whereas the legs are a larger component. Understanding these differences is crucial in burn management, as accurate estimation of TBSA is vital for fluid resuscitation and treatment planning. The Rule of Nines is adapted in pediatric patients to account for these anatomical differences to provide appropriate care.
