Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing an older adult client who is receiving IV therapy. The nurse should recognize that which of the following findings indicates fluid volume excess? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,C,E
Rationale: The correct choices indicating fluid volume excess are A, C, and E. A bounding pulse is a sign of increased fluid volume, as the heart has to work harder to pump the excess fluid. Pitting edema occurs due to fluid accumulation in the tissues, indicating excess fluid. Crackles upon auscultation suggest fluid accumulation in the lungs, a sign of fluid overload.
Choices B and D do not directly relate to fluid volume excess as high urine-specific gravity and swelling at the IV site can be seen in other conditions.
