Question 634

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-When determining appropriate doses of medication, it is sometimes important to estimate the body surface area (BSA) of a patient. This surface area (in m2\mathrm { m } ^ { 2 } ) can be approximated using the Mosteller formula BSA =(hw3600) 1/2= \left( \frac { h \cdot w } { 3600 } \right) ^ { 1 / 2 } , where hh is the patient's height in centimeters and ww is the weight in kilograms. Determine the BSA for a patient with height 172 cm172 \mathrm {~cm} and weight 80 kg80 \mathrm {~kg} . Round your answer to two decimal places.


A) 3.82 m23.82 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
B) 0.03 m20.03 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
C) 1.96 m21.96 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
D) 14.61 m214.61 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
