Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has an extracellular fluid volume deficit. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: B - Postural hypotension
Rationale: An extracellular fluid volume deficit results in decreased blood volume, leading to decreased blood pressure when the client changes position. This manifests as postural hypotension, where blood pressure drops upon standing. This is a common finding in clients with fluid volume deficits. Distended neck veins (
A) are associated with fluid volume excess, not deficit. Dependent edema (
C) is also a sign of fluid volume excess, not deficit. Bradycardia (
D) is more commonly associated with fluid volume excess, as the heart compensates for increased fluid volume by slowing down.
