The body mass index that the nurse calculated to identify the type of eating plan to use for this client is ________.
Answer: 32.77 BMI
The nurse should use the formula: weight (lb) / [height (in)] 2 × 703 for this calculation. The BMI is calculated by dividing weight in pounds (lb) by height in inches (in) squared and multiplying by a conversion factor of 703. The calculation would be ?185 / 63 × 63 = 185 / 3969 = 0.0466112 × 703 = 32.77.
