    A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing hypovolemia. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Epistaxis (nosebleeds) is not a common manifestation of hypovolemia. It is more typically associated with conditions like hypertension or nasal trauma. B. Dizziness is a common symptom of hypovolemia due to reduced blood volume and decreased perfusion to the brain. C. Shortness of breath is more likely to occur with conditions such as pulmonary edema or respiratory disorders, not hypovolemia. D. Headache can occur in hypovolemia due to reduced blood flow, but dizziness is more directly related to the body's inability to compensate for low blood volume.
