    A nurse is obtaining the length and weight of a 6-month-old infant. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale: A. Measuring the infant from the crown of the head to the heels of the feet is the correct method for obtaining length in infants. B. Placing a disposable covering on the scale ensures hygiene and prevents cross-contamination. C. Balancing the scale to 0 prior to use ensures an accurate weight measurement. D. Weighing the infant in a diaper can lead to inaccurate weight measurements. It is best to weigh the infant without a diaper or account for the diaper's weight. E. A stadiometer is used for measuring height in older children and adults, not for infants.
