Understand the Problem
The questions are assessing knowledge related to fluid and electrolyte balance, including causes, signs, and management of various conditions associated with fluid volume deficits and excesses. They are designed to test understanding of normal physiological functions and the implications of electrolyte imbalances.
Answer
Common causes of FVD are diarrhea, vomiting, sweating, fever, and poor fluid intake.
The primary cause of fluid volume deficit (FVD) includes diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, fever, and inadequate fluid intake.
Answer for screen readers
The primary cause of fluid volume deficit (FVD) includes diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, fever, and inadequate fluid intake.
More Information
Fluid Volume Deficit (FVD) is often linked to situations where fluid loss exceeds intake, leading to potential hypovolemia. This imbalance can be critical if not addressed appropriately.
Tips
A common mistake is not considering both fluid lost and fluid intake. It's important to account for all sources of fluid loss including unnoticed ones like sweating.
