All of these interventions are appropriate for a patient with fluid volume overload. Diuretic therapy can help eliminate excess fluid, daily weights can help monitor fluid balance, a low-sodium diet can reduce fluid retention, and documenting intake and outtake can help track fluid intake and output. Encouraging oral fluids of at least 2000 mL/d is not appropriate for a patient with fluid volume overload as it may exacerbate the condition.
