Zorluk: OrtaPhysiological Adaptation

A practical nurse is collecting data on an adult client who is receiving intravenous fluid resuscitation for severe hypovolemia caused by acute gastrointestinal bleeding. Which of the following clinical findings indicate that the client is experiencing a positive therapeutic response to the fluid therapy? Select all that apply.

  1. Heart rate decreases from 128 to 92 beats per minute.Cevap
  2. Urine output is documented as 50 mL per hour.Cevap
  3. The client is alert, awake, and oriented to person, place, and time.Cevap
  4. D
    Capillary refill time remains at 5 seconds.
  5. E
    Respiratory rate increases to 28 breaths per minute with new bilateral crackles.
  6. F
    Blood pressure reading is 86/52 mm Hg.

Cevap

The findings that indicate a positive response to fluid resuscitation are a decrease in heart rate to 92 beats per minute, a urine output of 50 mL per hour, and an alert and oriented mental status.
A positive therapeutic response to fluid resuscitation in a hypovolemic client is evidenced by signs of restored intravascular volume and adequate organ perfusion. A heart rate returning toward a normal baseline (from 128 to 92 beats per minute) indicates the heart is no longer compensating for low fluid volume. A urine output of 50 mL per hour demonstrates that the kidneys are receiving adequate blood flow (normal is greater than 30 mL/hr). An alert and oriented mental status indicates that the brain is being properly perfused.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the client's current clinical condition and the goal of the prescribed treatment.
The client is experiencing severe hypovolemia; the goal of intravenous fluid resuscitation is to restore intravascular volume and improve systemic tissue perfusion.
Understanding the pathophysiology of hypovolemic shock establishes the baseline needed to evaluate if interventions are working.
2
Evaluate each clinical finding to determine if it reflects improved perfusion or an ongoing/worsening complication.
A decreasing heart rate, adequate urine output (> 30 mL/hr), and normal mental status show improved perfusion. Prolonged capillary refill, hypotension, and tachypnea with crackles show ongoing shock or fluid overload.
Systematic evaluation of assessment data ensures accurate differentiation between expected therapeutic benefits and adverse responses.
