Solve the Problem $\mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }$

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 $\mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }$ ) can be approximated using the Mosteller formula
$$\mathrm { BSA } = \left( \frac { \mathrm { h } \cdot \mathrm { w } } { 3600 } \right) ^ { 1 / 2 } ,$$
where $h$ is the patient's height in centimeters and $w$ is the weight in kilograms. Determine the BSA for a patient with height $181 \mathrm {~cm}$ and weight $60 \mathrm {~kg}$ . Round your answer to two decimal places.

• A) \(0.03 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\)
• B) \(1.74 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\)
• C) \(3.02 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\)
• D) \(9.10 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\)
