What is the percent of weight change for a client who weighed 162 pounds today, compared to 174 pounds one month ago?

  1. 3%

  2. 5%

  3. 7%

  4. 9%

The correct answer is: 7%

To calculate the percent of weight change, you need to find the difference between the initial weight and the current weight, then divide that difference by the initial weight and multiply by 100 to get the percentage. In this case: Initial weight = 174 pounds Current weight = 162 pounds Weight change = 174 - 162 = 12 pounds Percent weight change = (12 / 174) * 100 ≈ 6.9% Therefore, the correct answer is C. 7%.
