Fluid Volume Deficit Nursing Care Plan

The document outlines a nursing care plan for a patient presenting with signs of dehydration including weakness, dry skin and mucous membranes, and concentrated urine. The plan includes assessing vital signs and fluid intake/output, administering IV fluids to replenish fluid volume, encouraging oral hydration, and monitoring for electrolyte imbalances as the patient is rehydrated. The goals are to restore adequate fluid volume and electrolyte balance as evidenced by normalized vital signs and urine output over the short and long term.
