 A client is found to have a BMI of 37. This indicates the client is in which category? 
  1. Underweight
  2. Healthy Weight
  3. Obese
Explanation
Answer: A BMI of 37 is considered obese.  However, this scale can be problematic of course due to significant variations in body type.  BMI should only be used as a directional heuristic and combined with other factors in considering an individual's health.

If your BMI is less than 18.5, it falls within the underweight range. 

If your BMI is 18.5 to <25, it falls within the healthy weight range. 

If your BMI is 25.0 to <30, it falls within the overweight range. If your BMI is 30.0 or higher, it falls within the obese range.
