Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to measure a client's calf circumference. The nurse performs this procedure by performing which action?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To measure a client's calf circumference accurately, a nurse should place a non-stretchable tape measure around the widest point of the lower leg. It is crucial to ensure that the tape measure is positioned at the same number of centimeters down from a specific landmark, such as the patella, on both legs for consistency. Placing the tape measure 2 inches above the knee (Option
B), 2 inches above the ankle (Option
C), or 2 inches below the patella (Option
D) would not provide an accurate measurement of the calf circumference.
Therefore, these options are incorrect choices.
