Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has heart failure and is taking furosemide. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the client is experiencing fluid volume deficit?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Elevated hematocrit level. Furosemide is a diuretic that promotes fluid loss. A decreased fluid volume in the body can lead to hemoconcentration, resulting in an elevated hematocrit level. This indicates fluid volume deficit. Distended neck veins (choice
A) are typically seen in fluid volume excess. Shortness of breath (choice
C) is a common symptom of heart failure and fluid overload, not fluid deficit. Weight gain (choice
D) is also a sign of fluid excess, not deficit.
