Question: 1 of 49Ati nur 105 fundamentals proctored exam
A nurse at a health fair is assessing the weight status of four clients. Which of the following clients are classified as overweight?
Explanation
A. Waist circumference alone is not a direct measure of overweight or obesity but can be an indicator of abdominal fat, which is a risk factor for health issues. For males, a waist circumference greater than 102 cm (40 in) is generally considered an increased risk for health problems related to obesity. B. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a commonly used measure to classify weight status. For adults, a BMI of 24 falls within the "normal weight" range, which is between 18.5 and 24.9. This client is not classified as overweight, as the threshold for overweight is a BMI of 25 or higher. C. For females, a waist circumference greater than 88 cm (35 in) is often considered an increased risk for health issues related to obesity. At 40 inches (101.6 cm), this female client exceeds the threshold and may be at higher risk for obesity-related health problems, though this does not strictly classify her as overweight based on BMI or waist circumference alone. D. A BMI of 29 falls into the "overweight" category, which ranges from 25 to 29.9. Therefore, this male client is classified as overweight based on his BMI.
