Which of following patients is at highest risk for fluid overload?

Published

1. 65 year old with diabetes, hypertension, and renal insuffiency

2. 45 y.o. with diabetes who is one day post op from bowel surgery

3. 25 y.o. with asthma exacerbation and pneumonia on IV anti-invectives

485 y.o with dementia living in a skilled nursing facility

I mean, I always start with ABC's. My choice would have been C, but I'm still but a student.

Oops, I just saw fluid overload. That'll teach me to read things more carefully. A would be my choice

And how sure would you be that we gave you the right answer? You'd be better of phoning a friend. A lot of us on this board do not like doing students homework for them (And yes, that does include a quiz)

Im usually very understanding to other student nurses, but you seriously need to do your own homework.

I just saw your other posts after reading this one...and...you were seriously taking a quiz and coming on here to have us URGENTly answer your questions?! AKA, take your quiz for you? Please tell me that's not what was happening here.

There is no A or B. Your answer options are 1. 2. 3. or 4.

you guys are all a bunch of bullies. is a person not allowed to ask for one question for help lol yall should get a life. if you dont want to answer then dont. but dont come on here to harass other individuals. asking for help on one question is not doing someone elses homework.

If you think that these people calling you out for trying to get them to do your homework for you are "bullies" then you are going to be in for a rude awakening when you get out into the real world.

P.S. you currently have FOUR posts asking for people to do your homework for you, not one. I seriously recommend an attitude adjustment or you will have a very hard time graduating.

Renal insufficiency really should give it away.. and HTN definitely would compound that. Diabetes also causes fluid retention.

@ Sunnysideup1:

Of more importance than the actual answer is why that answer is the best.

Do you understand the rationale behind #1 being the best answer?

yup it was open book and internet...........

I'd be willing to bet that the permission to use the internet was given so that you could look at resources that discuss the issues at hand and come to your own conclusion based on the information you find, not so that you could solicit nurses who have actually completed their education to spoon feed the answers to you.

After reading your other responses, it's pretty clear that you are the actual bully. Fortunately, no on here is at all intimidated by your nastiness.
