Summary Introduction
To classify: Person A weight status during school nursing visit.
Introduction: The status of weight among adolescents is assesessed by their body mass index (BMI). BMI of an individual is calculated by dividing a person's weight (kg) by square of his or her height (m2). The BMI value is then used to determine the BMI-for-age percentile on the basis of age and gender of the child, according to which the individual is considered for underweight or healthy or overweight, or obese.

So now that Mr. Garcia left and received education and made diet changes, we are now seeing him and his wife 4 weeks later as an outpatient.
