End stage renal failure (choice
A) typically leads to fluid retention rather than deficit due to impaired kidney function. Left-sided heart failure (choice
C) leads to fluid volume excess, not deficit. Being NPO (nothing by mouth) since midnight for endoscopy (choice
D) can lead to temporary fluid restriction, but it does not necessarily put the client at risk for fluid volume deficit unless prolonged.
