Hypertonic osmolarity - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

An older adult is brought to an emergency department by a family member. Which of the following assessment findings should cause the nurse to suspect that the client has hypertonic dehydration? ANSWER: Urine Specific gravity 1.045 A urine specific gravity greater than 1.030 indicates a decrease in urine volume and an increase in osmolarity, which is a manifestation of hypertonic dehydration. A nurse in a community clinic is caring for a client who reports an increase in the frequenc...
