a nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has fluid volume excess. which of the following interventions should the nurse plan to include to monitor the clients weight?
calibrate the scales weekly.
use a different scale each time.
weigh the client on arising.
weigh the client without clothing.

Explanation:

Weighing a client with fluid - volume excess on arising ensures consistency as factors like food intake, activity, and fluid balance are relatively stable at this time. Calibrating scales weekly may not be frequent enough for accurate monitoring. Using a different scale each time can introduce variability in measurements. Weighing without clothing may not be practical or necessary, and weighing on arising is more important for consistency.

Answer:

Weigh the client on arising
