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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Oliguria. Osmotic laxatives work by drawing water into the intestines to soften stools. This can lead to increased fluid loss through the GI tract, potentially causing fluid volume deficit. Oliguria, decreased urine output, is a sign of fluid volume deficit because the body is conserving fluid. Weight gain (
A) is not typically associated with fluid volume deficit. Nausea (
C) and headaches (
D) can be nonspecific symptoms and not specific to fluid volume deficit.
