Question 76

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,\mathrm { BSA } = \left( \frac { \mathrm { h } \cdot \mathrm { 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 181 cm181 \mathrm {~cm} and weight 60 kg60 \mathrm {~kg} . Round your answer to two decimal places.


A) 0.03 m20.03 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
B) 1.74 m21.74 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
C) 3.02 m23.02 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
D) 9.10 m29.10 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
