Answer to Question 1

1.9 m2

Global Rationale: The nurse should first recall the equation to use to calculate total body surface area using household measurements which is BSA =  weight in pounds x height in inches/3131. The nurse should convert the client's height in feet and inches into inches by multiplying 5 x 12 = 60 and adding 7 = 67 inches. Using the information provided, the calculation would be BSA =  176 lbs. x 67/3131; BSA = 11792/3131; BSA = 3.7662088; BSA = 1.9406722. With rounding the BSA for this client would be 1.9 m2.

Answer to Question 2

4000 mg
4000
