A client with fluid volume overload is admitted to the hospital for diuresis. Which assessment should the nurse perform to evaluate the client's fluid balance?

Lung sounds.

Turgor.

Weight.

Blood pressure.

Here's the edited text with the instructions applied:

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A reason: Lung sounds are important to assess for signs of fluid in the lungs, such as crackles, which can occur with fluid volume overload. However, they do not directly measure fluid balance.

Choice B reason: Turgor assesses skin elasticity and hydration status, but it is not the most accurate indicator of overall fluid balance in the context of fluid volume overload.

Choice C reason: Weight is the most accurate and direct measure of fluid balance. Daily weight monitoring can track changes in fluid status, as weight fluctuations can reflect gains or losses in body fluid.

Choice D reason: Blood pressure is important to monitor, especially in clients with fluid volume issues, but it is not the most direct measure of fluid balance. Weight changes provide more precise information about fluid status.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A reason: Describing the use of an elimination diet to find trigger foods is appropriate for clients with Crohn's disease. An elimination diet helps identify foods that may cause or exacerbate symptoms, allowing the client to avoid them and manage their condition more effectively.

Choice B reason: Instructing the client to avoid foods with gluten is not necessarily appropriate unless they have a confirmed gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Gluten avoidance is not a standard dietary restriction for Crohn's disease.

Choice C reason: Advising the client to limit foods that are high in calcium and iron is not appropriate, as these nutrients are important for overall health. Clients with Crohn's disease may need to adjust their diet based on individual needs and deficiencies, but blanket limitations on calcium and iron are not recommended.

Choice D reason: Explaining the need to restrict fluids is not a standard dietary recommendation for Crohn's disease. In fact, staying well-hydrated is important for managing the condition. Fluid restriction may be necessary in specific cases, but it is not a general guideline.
