You suspect someone may have hypervolemia. Which tests would most accurately
support this?
Daily weight
Read the case scenario below, and then select all the signs or symptoms that are
consistent with a fluid imbalance.

Chris (preferred pronouns: he, him) is a high school football player who came into
the office after practice. He said that he was dizzy and lightheaded. The nurse in
the office took his blood pressure and it was low. His pulse rate was elevated. He
also had bruising on both arms. The outside temperature during practice was 105
degrees Fahrenheit, and Chris forgot to bring water. He has no medical history, but
his father has a history of heart disease and kidney disease.
