Which finding is not typically associated with inflammation in a client?

A. Pain B. Heat C. Polyuria D. Erythema

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Polyuria is excessive urination and is not a typical assessment finding in inflammation. Inflammation commonly presents with pain (A), heat (B), and erythema (D) which are classic signs of an inflammatory response. Pain results from the release of inflammatory mediators, heat is due to increased blood flow, and erythema is caused by vasodilation and increased blood flow to the area. Polyuria is more likely associated with conditions such as diabetes or renal issues, rather than inflammation.
