Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The measuring tape should be snugly wrapped around the child's head at the occipital protuberance and supraorbital prominence, thereby documenting the largest circumference. Care should be taken to ensure that the tape does not cut the skin. Make the reading to the nearest 0.5 cm or inch, and remember to remeasure the head circumference at least once to check the accuracy of your measurement.
