Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Questions and leading statements about fluid balance are part of a comprehensive health history. The usual urinary output is one factor to consider in fluid balance.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
An appropriate nursing diagnosis for a client taking a diuretic that increases urinary output would be Risk for Deficient Fluid Volume. The nurse would educate the client on the symptoms of dehydration, how to increase fluid intake, and the need to maintain a record of daily weights.
