9. Plotting Measurements

Example 2:

A male toddler is weighed at 13 kg. The 2-year, 10-month (34-month) old child is plotted as a 24-month old child for weight. When age is calculated and plotted correctly the child's weight is at the 25th percentile. The incorrect plotting places him at the 50th-75th percentile.

How would this affect your clinical impression?
