The RN of a 6 year old girl is concerned about her child’s obesity. The child’s weight plots at the 75^th percentile, and height at the 25^th percentile. The child’s body mass index (BMI) is at the 85^th percentile for age and gender. Which interventions should the RN implement? (Select All That Apply)

A. Explain that the child is likely to grow into her weight.

B. Determine the child’s usual physical activity pattern.

D. Inquire as to whether or not the school has a physical education program.

(B, C, and D) are correct. The child’s growth parameters, particularly her BMI, indicate that she is overweight. (B and D) assess for the child’s level of activity, which should be evaluated and increased if possible. (C) Provides information about the quantity and quality of the child’s dietary intake, which is information that is needed to create an individualized diet teaching plan.

Girls do not hit their growth spurt before boys in preadolescence, but this child is only 6 years of age and the child’s obesity should not be negated because of this growth and development expectation.  (e)
