The nurse has discovered decreased skin turgor in a patient and knows that this finding is expected in which condition?

A. Severe obesity may not affect skin turgor but may cause other skin-related issues like stretching. B. Severe dehydration is the most likely cause of decreased skin turgor, as dehydration reduces the amount of interstitial fluid, causing the skin to lose elasticity. C. Connective tissue disorders such as scleroderma may affect skin appearance, but they typically cause hardening rather than decreased turgor. D. Childhood growth spurts generally do not affect skin turgor unless other conditions are present, such as dehydration or malnutrition.
