So I'm trying to come up with a nursing diagnosis for a care plan on a patient that has chronic kidney disease. My nursing diagnosis is excess fluid volume. I've talked to my instructor about a few different etiologies and she keeps telling me they don't work because they are in the medical scope of practice, so now I am way overthinking the whole thing. The one I asked her about and she said no to was fluid volume excess related to water and sodium retention. She said to think about what FVE causes so would FVE related to intake being greater than output make sense? Is that within the nursing scope of practice to treat. I was thinking edema to but that is something the doctor would be treating and not the nurse.
