RN Comprehensive Predictor Proctored Exam (National U CA San Diego)
A nurse is calculating the BMI of a client who has a weight of 75 kg (165.3 lb) 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
Calculation: Identify the client's weight in kilograms (kg) and height in meters (m). Weight = 75 kg Height = 1.8 m Calculate the square of the height in meters (m squared). Height squared = 1.8 m x 1.8 m = 3.24 m squared. Calculate the BMI. BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m squared) = 75 kg / 3.24 m squared = 23.148 Round the answer to the nearest tenth. = 23.1
