|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
serum osmolarity and a serum sodium of 126 mEq/L. In
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
further assessing the client, which of the following
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
assessments would indicate that hyponatremia is caused |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
by fluid volume excess?
|\ |\ |\
a. Distended neck veins
|\ |\ |\
b. Decreased urine output
|\ |\ |\
c. Rapid weight gain
|\ |\ |\
d. Increased rate and depth of respirations
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
e. Bounding pulse
|\ |\
f. Gravity of urine is lower - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔a.

A client with a history of severe diarrhea presents with a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
rapid pulse, orthostatic hypotension, urine output of 20
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
mL/hr, pale skin, and increased respiratory rate. In
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
evaluating the client's laboratory values, you would|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
expect to see which abnormality?
|\ |\ |\ |\
, a. Decreased urine specific gravity
|\ |\ |\ |\
b. Increase potassium
|\ |\
c. Decreased BUN
|\ |\
d. Increased hematocrit - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔d.

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
include:
a. Re-hydration
|\
b. Administration of a diuretic
|\ |\ |\ |\

A client with a history of severe diarrhea presents with a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
rapid pulse, orthostatic hypotension, urine output of 20
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
mL/hr, cool pale skin, and increased respiratory rate. IV
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
fluids are administered. Which of the following would
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
indicate that the client has a negative response to fluid
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
replacement?
