BMI Calculation Formula: How to Calculate Body Mass Index | Nursing Calculations Math NCLEX

BMI calculation formula explained: learn how to calculate BMI (body mass index) for nursing students, nurses, NCLEX, and health screenings.
Quiz: www.registerednursern.com/bmi...
Body mass index is one of the anthropometric measurements that nurses collect or calculate as a part of a health assessment. In this video, you'll learn how to calculate a patient's BMI using the imperial formula and metric formula.
To calculate BMI, you must first collect the patient's height and weight. If you are using imperial units (pounds and inches), you'll use the following BMI formula: BMI = 703 X (weight in pounds / height in inches squared).
If your patient's measurements are in metric units (kilograms and meters), you'll use this formula: BMI = weight in kg / height in meters squared.
In most cases, you'll wait to round until the end, and you'll round to the first decimal place (nearest tenth).

THANK YOU!!!

[@ashNrob2010]

Hey Sarah! I know you hear this a lot but I’m going to say it too! I just took my NCLEX-RN on Monday and passed with 75 questions! The thing is, I graduated almost FOUR YEARS ago! I have spent the last three months reviewing and my main resource was….you guessed it, YOU! I have seen your face so much over the last three months I feel like I’ve seen you more than my family! 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for everything you do. I NEVER could’ve done it without you!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@ashNrob2010]

I actually subscribed to a program, paying $74 a month since November. But you are so much better at explaining things and going over everything we need. Patho to nursing considerations. So I’ve reviewed with you, and just done the adaptive quizzing and practice NCLEX on the program.

​@@ashNrob2010Did you take the nclex exam after 4 years of obtaining your nursing degree?

[@uchikitomoto8687]

Thank you so much. I dont need to take the next gen NCLEX because of you and your very helpful videos. Your lessons and UWORLD practice questions and rationales are more than enough to ace that test. Passed in 75 and out. God bless you and your family and continue what you’ve been doing. I believe this is your calling. To help patients and aspiring nurses. Thanks again nurse Sarah.

[@mazehdar]

I'm currently binge watching your videos Sarah. You make it easier when you're explaining the pathophysio of a certain disease/condition. Thank you!

[@Jesus_Nursing_Rachel]
