A nurse is caring for a client who has fluid volume excess (FVE) due to heart failure (HF). Which of the following manifestations should the nurse associate with FVE? (Select all that apply.)

Rationale: A. A thready, weak pulse is typically associated with fluid volume deficit, not excess. Clients with FVE often have bounding pulses due to increased intravascular volume. B. Dizziness is more commonly a sign of hypovolemia or hypotension, rather than fluid overload. C. Edema occurs when excess fluid accumulates in the interstitial spaces, commonly in the lower extremities in clients with heart failure, making it a classic manifestation of FVE. D. FVE usually causes distended (full) neck veins due to increased central venous pressure. Flat neck veins are associated with hypovolemia. E. Rapid or unexplained weight gain in a client with HF is an early sign of fluid retention and is commonly used to monitor FVE.
