Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who is taking an osmotic laxative. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication of fluid volume deficit?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Oliguria. Osmotic laxatives, such as lactulose or polyethylene glycol, work by drawing water into the colon to soften the stool. If a client on osmotic laxatives is experiencing oliguria (decreased urine output), it can be a sign of fluid volume deficit due to the body trying to conserve water. Nausea (
A) is a common side effect of osmotic laxatives but not a specific indicator of fluid volume deficit. Weight gain (
B) is not associated with fluid volume deficit. Headache (
C) can be caused by various factors and is not a specific sign of fluid volume deficit.
