To get an accurate daily weight, the nurse aide should weigh the resident:
- A.At different times each day
- B.After a large meal each time
- C.At the same time each day, on the same scale, with similar clothing
- D.Wearing extra blankets for warmth
Correct answer
C. At the same time each day, on the same scale, with similar clothing
Why
Weighing at the same time, on the same scale, and with similar clothing makes daily weights comparable so real changes can be seen. Varying these factors creates false changes.
