If the greatest narrowing of the waist is not apparent, where should the tape measure be placed for measurements?

  1. Midpoint between the lowest rib and the top of the hip bone

  2. Directly above the hip bone

  3. Two centimeters above the navel for obese clients

  4. At the largest part of the waist

The correct answer is: Midpoint between the lowest rib and the top of the hip bone

Placing the tape measure at the midpoint between the lowest rib and top of the hip bone allows for an accurate measurement of the natural waistline. Choosing B would measure the circumference of the hips instead of the waist. Option C is meant for obese clients, who may have a larger waist measurement than the natural waistline. Option D would not yield the most accurate measurement as it does not take into account the narrowing of the waist.
