Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning to monitor a client for dehydration following several episodes of vomiting and an increase in the client's temperature. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the client is dehydrated?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A urine specific gravity of 1.034 is higher than the normal range (1.002-1.030), indicating that the urine is more concentrated due to a lack of hydration. A bounding pulse is not typically associated with dehydration. Dehydration more commonly results in a weak, rapid pulse. A blood pressure reading of 46/94 mm Hg is not indicative of dehydration. Dehydration often leads to low blood pressure. Distended neck veins are not a typical sign of dehydration. Dehydration can lead to decreased blood volume, which would not cause distension of the neck veins.
