ATI Capstone Week 9 Exam

Extract:

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has end-stage kidney disease and is receiving hemodialysis. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication the client is experiencing fluid overload?

A. The client has a 5 lb weight since yesterday. B. Oxygen saturation 93% C. Return of skin to previous position when the client's shin is palpated D. Flattened neck veins

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. A 5 lb weight gain in a short period indicates fluid overload in a client with end-stage kidney disease receiving hemodialysis. The excess fluid accumulates due to the kidneys' inability to filter it out effectively. This can lead to symptoms like edema, hypertension, and shortness of breath. Oxygen saturation and skin turgor are not specific indicators of fluid overload. Flattened neck veins are actually a sign of dehydration, not fluid overload.
