Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 3 hr postoperative and exhibiting signs of hypovolemia. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a manifestation of hypovolemia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Rapid pulse rate. Following surgery, hypovolemia can occur due to fluid loss. A rapid pulse rate is a common manifestation of hypovolemia as the body compensates for decreased blood volume by increasing heart rate to maintain perfusion. Bradycardia (
B) is unlikely with hypovolemia as the body tries to increase cardiac output. Hypertension (
C) is not typical in hypovolemia as blood pressure tends to decrease. Peripheral edema (
D) is associated with fluid overload, not hypovolemia.
