Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weighing a client should be done before assisting the client into the bed or chair because the weight is needed for medication dosing, nutrition planning, and monitoring fluid balance. It is important to weigh the client as accurately as possible to prevent errors in their care. Weighing the client at any other time may result in inaccurate measurements that can affect their care plan.
