A nurse at a health fair is assessing the weight status of four clients. Which of the following clients are classified as overweight?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C because a body mass index (BMI) of 29 falls within the overweight range (BMI 25-29.9). BMI is a widely accepted measure of body fat based on height and weight. Choice A has a high waist circumference but does not provide information on height or weight, so it cannot determine overweight status accurately. Choice B has a BMI of 24, which is within the normal range (BMI 18.5-24.9). Choice D has a waist circumference that is below the typical cutoff for overweight in men, so it does not meet the criteria for overweight classification.
