The nurse is admitting a healthy, 25-year-old male to the unit for outpatient knee surgery. During the nutrition assessment, it is determined that he weighs 78.2 kg
Using the rule-of-thumb guideline for calculating BMR, what is the approximate BMR of this client? A) 860 B) 1720 C) 1892 D) 2580
C
Feedback:
One imprecise, rule-of-thumb guideline for estimating BMR is to multiply healthy weight (in pounds) by 10 for women and 11 for men. First, convert the weight to pounds by multiplying, 78.2 kg × 2.2 = 172.04; and then 172.04 × 11 = 1892.44.
