Answer to Question 1

One method is arm span: the client extends the arms from the body at a 90-degree angle and distance is measured between the tips of the two middle fingers. A limitation of this method is that it is an estimation of maximum adult height and not actual, current height. Knee height is another method of height estimation. Height may also be recorded from the patient's memory.
