RN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Proctored Exam
A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing hypovolemia. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Shortness of breath is more common in fluid volume overload (hypervolemia) rather than hypovolemia. B. Epistaxis (nosebleeds) is not a common symptom of hypovolemia; it is more associated with hypertension or clotting disorders. C. Hypovolemia (fluid volume deficit) leads to dizziness due to decreased cerebral perfusion and orthostatic hypotension. D. Headaches can occur in fluid overload or hypertension, but dizziness is the more classic symptom of hypovolemia.
