Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Once you have obtained an accurate height and weight, calculate the body mass index (BMI). For amputees, add the following percentages of the weight obtained on the scale prior to calculating the BMI: below knee 6, at knee 9, above knee 15, arm 6.5, and arm below elbow 3.6. The formula for calculating BMI is the same for the elderly as for any other population. A BMI of less than 21 or a total body weight of less than 100 pounds is an indicator of a high risk for protein-energy malnutrition.
