6. Weighing Children and Adolescents: Procedures
For all children, there is a need to respect privacy. Privacy includes
where the measurements are taken, clothing removal, provision of gowns,
describing the measuring process, and interpreting the numbers.
The child or adolescent
is weighed wearing only lightweight undergarments, or gown. The child
or adolescent stands on the center of the platform of the scale.
The weight of the
individual is recorded to the nearest 0.01 kg or 1/2 oz.
