Urine is darker with a slight odor after heavy sweating. What does that suggest?

  1. A kidney stone is blocking the urine flow
  2. The resident has a urine infection
  3. The body has less water
  4. The bowel is blocked by stool
Show answer

Correct answer: The body has less water

Sweating loses water, so urine gets darker. Color and odor give a rough idea of hydration.
