following findings is a manifestation of dehydration. (Select all that
apply)
A. Hct 55%
B. Blood osmolarity 260 mOsm/kg
C. Blood sodium 150 mEq/L
D. Urine specific gravity 1.035
E. Blood creatinine 0.6 mg/dL - ANSWER-A. Hct 55%
Rationale: This is greater than the expected reference range
of 42-52% for males & 37-47% for females & is an indication
of dehydration due to hemoconcentration
C. Blood sodium 150 mEq/L
,2|Page
Rationale: This blood sodium level is greater than the
expected reference range of 135-145 mEq/L & is an indication
of dehydration
D. Urine specific gravity 1.035
Rationale: This urine-specific gravity is greater than the
expected reference range of 1.005-1.030 & is an indication of
dehydration
A nurse is planning care for a client who has dehydration. Which
of the following actions should the nurse include?
A. Administer antihypertensive on schedule

can evaluate the client's response to treatment. Hypotension
is a manifestation of dehydration, urine output greater than
30mL/hr is an expected finding & an indicator of adequate
fluid balance, a client who is dehydrated is at risk for falls
due to orthostatic hypotension.
