What Is the Difference Between Girth Assessment for Edema and Volumetric

question 11

Multiple Choice

What is the difference between girth assessment for edema and volumetric assessment of edema?

• A)Girth is measured with a tape measure and volume is measured with water displacement.
• B)Girth is measured at the same time of day each time and volumetry can be performed at any time during the day.
• C)Girth measurements are more difficult to take than volumetric measurements of edema.
• D)Girth measurements indicate the exact location of the edema and the quantity; volumetric assessment just indicates that there is edema present but not specifically where.
