Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has dehydration due to diarrhea. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Urine output 12 mL/hr is correct. A urine output of 12 mL/hr is low and indicates oliguria, which is a concern in the context of dehydration. The normal urine output for an adult is at least 30 mL/hr. A decrease in urine output suggests that the kidneys are not receiving adequate blood flow, which could indicate severe dehydration and requires immediate attention from the provider.
