Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has circulatory overload. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Tachycardia. In circulatory overload, the body is trying to compensate for the increased volume of fluid in the circulatory system by increasing the heart rate to maintain adequate circulation. Diaphoresis (
A) is excessive sweating, not typically associated with circulatory overload. Weight loss (
B) is not expected as circulatory overload is characterized by excess fluid retention. Hypotension (
C) is unlikely as the body's response to fluid overload is to increase blood pressure. Tachycardia (
D) is the correct choice as the heart rate increases to help pump the excess fluid throughout the body.
