BMI Calculator
This dot phrase template, or snippet, can be used to determine a patient’s Body Mass Index, or BMI. Healthcare Professionals, like doctors and nurses, can use BMI as part of a patient's care to evaluate their overall health and assess potential risks associated with weight-related conditions.
By considering BMI, healthcare providers can make informed decisions regarding lifestyle modifications, nutritional guidance, and appropriate interventions to support the patient's well-being.
