A nurse is evaluating a client who received intermittent IV fluids. Which of the following findings indicates the client has fluid overload?

Tachypnea (respiratory rate 30/min) is a sign of fluid overload — excess fluid accumulates in the lungs (pulmonary edema), impairing gas exchange and increasing the work of breathing. Other signs of fluid overload include crackles, dyspnea, peripheral edema, elevated blood pressure, and weight gain. Warm dry skin, heart rate of 60/min, and tenting skin turgor are associated with dehydration, not fluid overload.
