Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypervolemia is a condition where there is an excessive fluid volume in the body. Limiting sodium and water intake would be an important intervention as this can help to decrease fluid volume and prevent further fluid retention. Giving medications that promote fluid retention, assessing for dehydration, and teaching behaviors that decrease urination are not appropriate interventions for hypervolemia.
