Final answer:

Nurses should ask specific questions to identify causes of fluid volume deficit including vomiting, diarrhea, and hydration habits.


Explanation:

Priority questions that the nurse should ask to determine fluid volume deficit causes:

  • "Have you experienced nausea or vomiting recently?"
  • "How much water are you drinking per day?"
  • "Have you experienced diarrhea recently?"
  • "Is your mouth dry?"

Severe vomiting and diarrhea can lead to reduced blood volume due to fluid loss, affecting blood pressure. Dehydration signs, including low urine output and dizziness, indicate fluid deficit. These questions assist in assessing the client's hydration status.
