Which one of the following is not a sign of dehydration?

Sunken, soft eyes
High specific gravity of urine
Weight loss
Seizures

The correct answer is: Seizures

Seizures are not a direct sign of dehydration. Instead, they can indicate a variety of conditions, including electrolyte imbalances, severe neurological issues, or other systemic problems. Dehydration can lead to issues such as disturbances in electrolyte levels (like sodium), but seizures themselves are not a classic symptom attributed solely to dehydration. In contrast, the other options represent more typical signs of dehydration. Sunken, soft eyes can indicate a lack of fluid in the body, showing that dehydration is present. High specific gravity of urine signifies that the urine is concentrated, often a result of the body conserving water due to insufficient intake. Weight loss, especially over a short period, can reflect the fluid loss associated with dehydration. Each of these symptoms directly correlates with the body’s response to inadequate hydration.
