Question

The nursing instructor is conducting a clinical session on the proper techniques for assessing a child's head circumference. The instructor should point out which factor concerning this assessment?

Answer 1

The cephalic perimeter is one of the anthropometric measures of importance in children.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cephalic perimeter is measured to children using a meter which is located above the eyebrows and above the child's ears.

The meter to be used to measure the cephalic perimeter should not be flexible to avoid measurement errors.

The part that is going to be surrounded by the subway must be the widest of the whole head

the cephalic perimeter should normally be around 35 cm.
