What is the Next Step? After graphing a set of measurements, check to see if they are consistent with those from previous visits (i.e., the child is on roughly the same percentile lines as before). If not, check the measurements, graphing, or both. When you have made accurate measurements, calculated age correctly, and plotted them on the appropriate growth chart.
To help you to accurately weigh, measure, plot and interpret, downloadable checklists are available from this module's Contents page.
