Which statement appropriately describes the practice of daily weight monitoring for bolus feeding?

Record weight weekly.

Record weight only at admission.

Record weight monthly.

Record weight daily.

Daily weight monitoring is essential because bolus feeding can cause rapid shifts in fluid balance and nutritional status. Tracking weight every day provides timely feedback to adjust the bolus volume, frequency, or caloric density, helping to prevent underfeeding, overhydration, or dehydration. For reliable trends, weigh at the same time each day with similar clothing after voiding. Recording weight only weekly, monthly, or only at admission would miss important day-to-day changes and delay needed adjustments.
