The nurse should anticipate that a client who collapsed while running his or her first marathon and has a urine specific gravity of 1.035 is experiencing:
A) Frostbite
B) Sun stroke
C) Dehydration
D) Exhaustion
Ans: C
Feedback:
The usual range of specific gravity is 1.010 to 1.025 with normal fluid intake. Healthy kidneys can produce concentrated urine with specific gravity of 1.030 to 1.040 during periods of dehydration and dilute urine with a specific gravity that approaches 1.000 during periods of too much fluid intake. Frostbite, sunstroke, and exhaustion do not change urine specific gravity if fluid volume is normal.
