Answer and Explanation:

The father had 54% of the body covered by burns, since a little more than half of his body was burned. In addition, to calculate the percentage of body burn, the following values are considered: head, arms and legs - 9% torso front - 18% torso back - 18%. In addition, the father feels little pain in his legs (which had worse burns) because the third degree burn destroys the nerve endings, while the second degree burn only damages these endings promoting intense pain.

The daughter had 9% of her body burned by first degree burns, which corresponds to her lower limbs. These burns involve the skin and the epidermis, for this reason, we can say that the legs are the part of the daughter's body that has compromised hair and epidermis.

What is known as the medicine chest of the sea
kobusy [5.1K]

The legislation authorized Medicine Chest be carried on every American Flag vessel of more than 150 tons back in the 1700's, so long as it had a crew of ten or more. A loose network of marine hospitals, primarily in port cities, was established by Congress to care for disabled and sick American merchant seamen around 1798. Federal entities, namely, the Marine Hospital Service, the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, and lastly the Public Health Service continued to give healthcare to merchant seamen until 1981. The Medical Aid at Sea and Ship's Medicine Chest has been a part of much of this maritime history.
