Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Diaphoresis often goes undetected,and thus insensible fluid loss is not always evident until a patient develops fluid and electrolyte imbalances.This individual often is already compromised in relation to hydration,fluids,and electrolytes;therefore,the nurse needs to carefully monitor the patient's fluid balance status.Some nausea,disorientation,and anxiety can occur,but they are not as critical as insensible fluid loss.
