Burn coverage percentage documentation is recorded on which form?

• A. DD Form 1380
• B. DD Form 2567
• C. DD Form 93
• D. DD Form 2650

Answer: (A)

Documenting the extent of a burn is part of the initial clinical assessment you record for a patient in deployed settings. The form chosen for field medical records is the one that captures major injuries and treatment data in theater, so burn coverage percentage is recorded there. That form is designed to travel with the patient through evacuation and handoffs, ensuring the burn size is communicated to all subsequent care providers. Other forms serve different purposes—emergency data or administrative/administrative medical details—not the on-scene injury assessment like burn percentage. So the burn extent belongs on the field medical record form, not on those other documents.
