Which finding indicates fluid volume excess in an older adult client receiving IV therapy?

  1. Bounding pulse

  2. Reduced urinary output

  3. Dry mucous membranes

  4. Increased thirst

The correct answer is: Bounding pulse

In an older adult client receiving IV therapy, a bounding pulse is a finding that indicates fluid volume excess. This is because an increase in circulating blood volume can lead to an increase in cardiac output, which can manifest as a bounding pulse. Other options such as reduced urinary output, dry mucous membranes, and increased thirst are more indicative of fluid volume deficit rather than fluid volume excess.
