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.

Did you know?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
