Question 1 of 5
The nurse identifies the problem of Fluid Volume Excess for a patient. Which assessment finding validates this problem?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Fluid Volume Excess (FVE), or hypervolemia, refers to an isotonic expansion of the ECF due to an increase in total body sodium content and an increase in total body water. One of the defining characteristics of FVE is an increase in urine specific gravity.
Therefore, a urine specific gravity of 1.012 can validate the problem of Fluid Volume Excess for a patient.
