Notes
Admission Weight: admission weight and height is to be recorded in the space located on the top left
hand side of the weight chart document.
The BMI (body mass index) is then calculated and disclosed to the consumer, along with weight
and height.
BMI = weight (kg) / height squared (m2)
e.g. Weight 42.0kg and height 1.72m
42.0/1.72/1.72 = BMI 14.2
Subsequent Weights: subsequent weights are to be recorded by plotting the consumer’s weight on the
weight chart document.
Feedback regarding the consumer’s weight must not include actual numbers, but rather include
information regarding the clients ‘BMI range’. This essentially includes three options:
1. Steady/stable
- the consumer’s weight has remained in the current BMI range
- the consumer’s weight has gone above/below the current range but is a one off
2. Moved up
- the consumer’s weight has been above the current BMI range for two consecutive weights
3. Moved Down
- the consumer’s weight has been below the current BMI range for two consecutive weights
Example:
