Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who reports nausea and vomiting for 2 days. Which of the following indicates fluid volume deficit?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Increased pulse rate. In fluid volume deficit, the body compensates by increasing heart rate to maintain adequate circulation. Decreased hematocrit (
A) is seen in fluid volume excess. Decreased specific gravity of urine (
B) indicates dilution, not fluid deficit. Increased skin turgor (
C) is a sign of dehydration, not specifically fluid volume deficit. So, increased pulse rate (
D) is the best indicator of fluid volume deficit in this scenario.
