    A nurse is assessing a client who has fluid overload. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? (Select all that apply)

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale: A. Fluid overload increases circulating volume, leading to increased blood pressure. B. Hematocrit typically decreases with fluid overload due to hemodilution, not increases. C. Tachycardia occurs as the heart works harder to manage the excess fluid. D. Temperature is usually unaffected by fluid overload; fever is not a direct consequence. E. Increased respiratory rate may occur due to pulmonary congestion or edema associated with fluid overload.
