Question 1 of 5
The healthcare provider should utilize data about which of the following to provide information about the nutritional status of a client being evaluated for malnutrition?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Objective anthropometric measurements such as triceps skinfold and mid-arm circumference (MA
C), along with weight, are usually used to diagnose malnutrition. Triceps skinfold measurement specifically helps assess body fat and muscle mass, providing valuable information about the client's nutritional status. Fasting blood glucose level, hemoglobin A1c level, and serum lipid profile results are important tests in assessing different aspects of health such as diabetes management and cardiovascular risk, but they are not specific indicators of malnutrition.
