Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of fluid volume deficit: It refers to a condition where there is a decrease in the volume of fluid in the body, often due to loss of water and electrolytes.

Analyze the given conditions: Edema, Hypertension, Dehydration, and Hypervolemia.

Consider the characteristics of each condition: Edema involves excess fluid in tissues, Hypertension is high blood pressure, Dehydration is loss of water, and Hypervolemia is excess blood volume.

Identify which condition involves a decrease in body fluid volume: Dehydration is characterized by a significant loss of body fluids, leading to a fluid volume deficit.

Conclude that Dehydration is the condition most likely to have a nursing diagnosis of fluid volume deficit, as it directly involves a reduction in body fluids.
