#2 anthropometric measurements should be taken, but to access nutritional health. I would consider Bleeding gums to be significant.

#1 is great for weight lose but #3 for dehydration. I’ll go with #1

Correct answer: 1
Anthropometric measurements are the prime parameters used to evaluate fat and muscle stores in the body. Bleeding gums and dry skin are associated with several systemic problems and can be signs of micronutrient deficiencies as well. Facial rubor is not a parameter used to evaluate the client’s nutritional status.
