Question 1 of 5
An LPN is reviewing the laboratory test results for a client who has an elevated temperature. The nurse should identify which of the following findings is a manifestation of dehydration?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Urine specific gravity of 1.035. A high urine specific gravity indicates concentrated urine, which is a common finding in dehydration due to insufficient fluid intake or excessive fluid loss. Dehydration leads to the kidneys conserving water, resulting in concentrated urine with a higher specific gravity.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Bicarbonate level 60 mosm/kg - Elevated bicarbonate levels are more indicative of metabolic alkalosis, not dehydration.
C: Blood sodium 50 meq/L - Low blood sodium levels are seen in hyponatremia, not dehydration.
D: Blood creatinine 0.6 mg/dL - Creatinine levels are not typically affected by dehydration.
E: Blood creatinine 0.6 mg/dL - Duplicate answer.
