Question 1 of 5
When is a physician likely to assess turgor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Skin turgor is assessed when dehydration is suspected.
To evaluate skin turgor, a physician pinches the skin and observes how quickly it returns to its normal position. If the skin stays folded for an extended period, it indicates dehydration. Assessing turgor helps determine a patient's hydration status.
Choice A is incorrect because skin turgor is not used to assess iron deficiency.
Choice B is incorrect as turgor is not related to heart and lung issues, but rather hydration status.
Choice D is incorrect as turgor assessment is relevant when dehydration is suspected.
