Questions: Use the appropriate formula to determine the BSA of your patient. Round to two decimal places.
Metric: BSA(m^2) = sqrtht(cm) * wt(kg) / 3600
Household: BSA(m^2) = sqrtht(in) * wt(lb) / 3131
Your patient is a child that measures 126 cm tall and weighs 15 kg. What is your patient's BSA?
Transcript text: Question 6 of 10, Step 1 of 1
$5 / 10$
Correct
Use the appropriate formula to determine the BSA of your patient. Round to two decimal places.
Metric: $B S A\left(m^{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{h t(c m) \times w t(k g)}{3600}}$
Household: $B S A\left(m^{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{h t(i n) \times w t(l b)}{3131}}$
Your patient is a child that measures 126 cm tall and weighs 15 kg . What is your patient's BSA?
Answer
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve for the Body Surface Area (BSA) of the patient using the metric formula, we will substitute the given height in centimeters and weight in kilograms into the formula. The formula for BSA in metric units is:
