A nurse in a nutrition clinic is calculating body mass index (BMI) for several clients. The nurse should identify which of the following client's BMI as overweight?

  1. 24

  2. 27

  3. 30

  4. 32

The correct answer is: 27

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. A BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight. In this case, a client with a BMI of 27 falls within this range, indicating that they are overweight. The other options provided, 24, 30, and 32, do not fall within the overweight category based on the BMI classification. Option A (24) is considered normal weight, option C (30) is considered obese, and option D (32) is also considered obese according to the BMI scale.
