Answer - C - A finding, if identified in a patient who is being treated for hypovolemic shock, that should indicate to the nurse that the treatment is having the desired effect, is a urine output of 30 mL/hr. Management of hypovolemic shock includes monitoring of fluid balance. A diminished urinary output is characteristic, thus fluid replacement therapy would adequately perfuse the kidneys and increase urine output.
