A nurse overhears a student discussing the treatment of fluid volume deficit. The nurse intervenes when the student says:
1. "Fluid volume deficit requires the rapid infusion of intravenous (IV) fluids."
2. "The patient's urinary output will initially be absent or less than the intake, but should gradually increase as the patient becomes more hydrated."
3. "If the source of loss is from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, antiemetic medications may be ordered for nausea or vomiting."
4. "Once the patient is able to tolerate oral fluids, a clear liquid diet advanced as tolerated is generally ordered."
