Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A 200 pound lean male with 60% body fluid would have 120 pounds of total body water. Interstitial fluid makes up about 2/3 of the total body water, so 2/3 of 120 pounds is 80 pounds. However, none of the options directly match this calculation, suggesting a possible misunderstanding in the question's premise or a mistake in the calculation. Given the options, the closest or most plausible answer based on typical physiological proportions would be option A) 32, assuming a misinterpretation of the calculation process or an error in the question's details.
