Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 47
Body mass index (BMI) is widely used to assess appropriate weight for height using the following formula: BMI = weight (kg)/ height2 (meters). 145 divided by 1.752 = 47.3469. When rounded to the nearest whole number, the client's BMI is 47.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 101.8 kilograms
There are 2.2 pounds in 1 kilogram. The client weighs 224 pounds. The nurse can divide the client's weight in pounds by 2.2 and determine that the client weighs 101.8181 kilograms. When rounded to the nearest tenth, the client weighs 101.8 kilograms.
