- A client of yours reports usually weighing 145# (lbs). You take her weight today and she weighs 126# (lbs). She reports weighing her usual weight four months ago and has not done anything to lose weight. Calculate the percent usual body weight of your client. Is this a cause for concern? If so, why? Please show your work.
Homework Answers
Body wt 145 lbs
body wt measured today. 126 lbs
weight loss. 145-126=19 lbs
percent weight loss. 19/145. *100=13.1%
it is more than 5% which is a matter of concern.
because unexplained weight loss may be the cause of underlying serious illnesses eg rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, overactive throid, imflammatory bowel disorder etc.
