Do you agree or disagree with the RD's decision not to take anthropometric measurements or recommend anergy determinations? Discuss why or why not
For anthropometric measurements, yes I agree because there will be no means for follow-up to determine improvement. For anergy measurements, yes I agree because there was enough evidence without it to indicate nutritional depletion. Emphasis is being placed on reducing cost and there is not enough justification for the test considering the cost.
