The nurse is caring for a client who is at risk for altered fluid balance. Which signs and symptoms of dehydration would the nurse expect to find in this client? Select all that apply.

Numbers 2, 3, and 4 are correct.

Clients with dehydration experience increased hematocrit, orthostatic (postural) hypotension, and diminished bowel sounds. Thready pulses are a sign of dehydration. Bounding pulses would be found in clients with fluid volume excess. Urine specific gravity increases in clients with dehydration.
