Question 1 of 5

An elderly client is severely dehydrated. Which is the best way to assess the effectiveness of fluid restoration therapy?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Daily weights provide an objective measure of fluid restoration, as 1 kg approximates 1 L of fluid. Skin turgor is less reliable in elders, thirst is subjective, and intake alone doesn't confirm absorption.
