Final answer:
Fluid volume excess can cause symptoms such as dyspnea, edema, brady HTN, and weakness. It can also lead to pulmonary edema and other symptoms like nausea and changes in blood pressure and heart rate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Weight gain of 2.3 KG in 48 hr may suggest fluid volume excess. Fluid volume excess occurs when there is an increase in the amount of fluid in the body. Manifestations of fluid volume excess include dyspnea (difficulty breathing), edema (swelling), brady HTN (low blood pressure), and weakness.
Fluid volume excess can be seen as swelling over large areas of the body, particularly the lower extremities. It can also lead to pulmonary edema, which is excess fluid in the air sacs of the lungs.
Other symptoms of fluid volume excess may include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting lasting 24-48 hours, possible dehydration, and changes in blood pressure and heart rate.
