Answer to Question 1

20.7

Rationale:

To calculate the BMI, take the weight in kilograms and divide by the height in meters squared. To convert weight from pounds to kilograms, divide by 2.2; 121 pounds divided by 2.2 = 55 kg. To convert the height in inches to meters, multiply by 0.0254; 64 inches multiplied by 0.0254 = 1.63 meters. 1.63 meters squared = 2.66 m2. 55 kg divided by 2.66 meters squared = 20.7 (BMI).

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: The nurse should be assessing for symptoms of graft-versus-host disease so that medical treatment can begin.
Rationale 2: Although discharge planning begins at admission, it is too early to provide discharge instructions.
Rationale 3: There is no indication in the stem that the child has a latex allergy.
Rationale 4: The priority for this child is to monitor for graft-versus-host disease.
