A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a BMI of 29. The nurse should document that the client is in which of the following weight categories?
A BMI of 25–29.9 is categorized as "overweight." This indicates that the client is above the ideal weight range but has not reached the threshold for obesity.
Underweight is defined as a BMI below 18.5, so this option does not apply to a BMI of 29.
Ideal body weight is generally associated with a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9, which does not include a BMI of 29.
Obesity is defined as a BMI of 30 or above. Therefore, a BMI of 29 does not meet the criteria for this classification.
