Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Overhydration is the only option that fits the description of having a lower concentration of solutes in body fluids than normal. Dehydration, on the other hand, would have a higher concentration of solutes due to the loss of water. Option C, both overhydration and dehydration, is incorrect as they have opposite effects on solute concentration, so both cannot apply in the same scenario. Option D, neither overhydration nor dehydration, is also incorrect as at least one of them must fit the description.
