Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving IV 0.9% sodium chloride for the treatment of hypovolemia. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication the treatment is effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Blood pressure 124/74 mm Hg. This finding indicates that the IV 0.9% sodium chloride treatment for hypovolemia is effective because a normal blood pressure range suggests adequate fluid volume and perfusion. A: Heart rate 104/min may indicate ongoing compensatory mechanisms due to hypovolemia. B: 2+ pitting edema in lower extremities suggests fluid overload rather than effective treatment. D: Increased hematocrit could indicate hemoconcentration due to dehydration, not necessarily effective treatment.
