You are monitoring urine output every hour for a client admitted with possible cardiogenic shock. The client's family member is very anxious and asks, Why are you always checking the urine?
 
  The problem is with the heart. You would formulate a response conveying the knowledge that:
  1. urine output often increases during physiological stress.
  2. an increase in urine output is expected because of peripheral vasodilatation.
  3. an adequate blood pressure is needed for kidneys to function properly.
  4. a decrease in urine output indicates impending heart failure.
