BMI calculation formula explained: learn how to calculate BMI (body mass index) for nursing students, nurses, NCLEX, and health screenings. Quiz: https://www.registerednursern.com/bmi-quiz-body-mass-index-test/ 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). #BMI #bodymassindex More dosage calculations and nursing math videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiP-JFZqGGI&list=PLQrdx7rRsKfUYdl0TZQ0Tc2-hLlXlHNXq Website: https://www.registerednursern.com/ More Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2XMro13dD0&list=UUPyMN8DzkFl2__xnTEiGZ1w Nursing Gear: https://teespring.com/stores/registerednursern Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/registerednursern_com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RegisteredNurseRNs Twitter: https://twitter.com/NursesRN Popular Playlists: NCLEX Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQrdx7rRsKfWtwCDmLHyX2UeHofCIcgo0 Fluid & Electrolytes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQrdx7rRsKfWJSZ9pL8L3Q1dzdlxUzeKv Nursing Skills: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQrdx7rRsKfUhd_qQYEbp0Eab3uUKhgKb
