NCP Deficient Fluid Volume

The nursing assessment identified a patient with deficient fluid volume due to diarrhea and vomiting, evidenced by weakness, pale appearance, sunken eyes, and frequent watery stools. Short term goals were to maintain fluid/electrolyte balance and prevent infection within 8 hours. Long term goals were to reestablish normal bowel functioning within 3 days. Interventions included monitoring intake/output, encouraging oral rehydration, and administering IV fluids and medications as needed.
