The nurse is caring for a 73-year-old female client who is 3 days postoperative for a bowel ob-struction.
 
  The nurse knows that the stress response of surgery causes fluid-balance changes in the second to fifth postoperative day, when aldosterone, glucocorticoids, and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) are increasingly secreted, causing sodium and chloride retention and potassium excretion. Because of this, it is important for the nurse to closely monitor:
  1. Urine output
  2. Intake of sodium
  3. Activity level
  4. Oxygen level
