A nurse is planning care for an older adult client who has manifestations of dehydration. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?

A. Offer oral fluids every 4 hr: Offering oral fluids every 4 hours may not be frequent enough for a client with dehydration. The nurse should encourage the client to drink fluids more regularly (e.g., every 1-2 hours) to help prevent further dehydration. B. Monitor the client's hemoglobin level: Monitoring the hemoglobin level is not a priority intervention for managing dehydration. The focus should be on fluid replacement and monitoring indicators of dehydration, such as urine output. C. Check urinary output status every 4 hr: Monitoring urinary output regularly is crucial for assessing hydration status. Dehydration often leads to reduced urine output, and it is important to check for changes in output to adjust fluid intake and assess the effectiveness of interventions. D. Administer furosemide IV: Furosemide is a diuretic, which increases urine output. Administering it to a client who is dehydrated would worsen their dehydration and is contraindicated. The focus should be on rehydration, not on further increasing fluid loss.
