A nurse is performing an admission assessment on a client. Which finding should the nurse identify as an indication that the client is dehydrated?

A. Elevated blood pressure is not an indication of dehydration; dehydration is more likely to cause a drop in blood pressure due to decreased blood volume. B. Dehydration typically does not cause a low body temperature; instead, it can lead to an elevated temperature as the body conserves water. C. Jugular vein distention is associated with fluid overload or heart failure, not dehydration. D. Skin tenting, where the skin remains elevated after being pinched, is a classic sign of dehydration due to reduced skin elasticity.
