Question

A client with dehydration suddenly becomes diaphoretic, clammy, and pale. the client's blood pressure falls to 50/30 mm hg. in which position will the nurse place the client?

Answer 1

The answer is Trendelenburg position.

The client is showing symptoms of hypovolemic shock and we can see that because he is sweating a lot, he's pale and his blood pressure is dropping.
The nurse should place the client in the Trendelenburg position, which is raising the feet higher than the head by 15 to 30 degrees, to help maintain the bloodflow to the brain.
