Hi,
We
have had a physician request that the BMI be collected/calculated. It was
recommended that this be done on admission. After speaking with our RDs in
the Nutrition Department, they said there is a lot more that goes into this and
that the BMIs are not valid for certain populations (amputees, anasarca
etc).
We
were wondering if facilities have had this request, if nursing was documenting
the BMI and if you had similar issues?
Thanks
very much,
Patty
