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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Weak pulse. Hypovolemia, or low blood volume, results in a decrease in circulating blood volume leading to a weak pulse. This occurs because there is less blood volume to generate adequate pressure against the arterial walls. Decreased heart rate (
A) is not a typical manifestation of hypovolemia as the body usually compensates by increasing heart rate to maintain cardiac output. Increased blood pressure (
B) is also not characteristic of hypovolemia, as blood pressure tends to decrease due to decreased blood volume. Dyspnea (
D) may occur in severe cases of hypovolemia due to inadequate oxygen delivery, but it is not a primary manifestation.
