1. extracellular fluid deficit, limit drinking water.
2. hypertonic intracellular deficit, limit water intake.
3. extracellular fluid deficit, encourage fluid intake.
4. circulatory system hormone deficit, limit water intake.

A fluid volume deficit occurs when there is inadequate fluid volume in the body; the nurse may encourage drinking fluids as a nursing action.
