Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who sustained blood loss. Which of the following is a manifestation of hypovolemia?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Weak pulse. In hypovolemia (low blood volume), the body compensates by increasing heart rate to maintain perfusion. A weak pulse indicates decreased cardiac output due to inadequate blood volume. Increased blood pressure (
A) is unlikely in hypovolemia. Decreased heart rate (
B) is incorrect as the body tries to increase cardiac output. Dyspnea (
C) is typically seen in respiratory issues, not primarily related to hypovolemia. In summary, a weak pulse is a key sign of hypovolemia due to decreased cardiac output.
