    A nurse is calculating the BMI of a client who has a weight of 75 kg (165.3 1b) and a height of 1.8 m (5 ft 9 in). Which of the following values should the nurse calculate as the client’s BMI?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m²) = 75 ÷ (1.8 × 1.8) = 75 ÷ 3.24 = 23.1, which rounds to 24. B. BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m²) = 75 ÷ (1.8 × 1.8) = 75 ÷ 3.24 = 23.1, which rounds to 24. C. BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m²) = 75 ÷ (1.8 × 1.8) = 75 ÷ 3.24 = 23.1, which rounds to 24. D. BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m²) = 75 ÷ (1.8 × 1.8) = 75 ÷ 3.24 = 23.1, which rounds to 24.
