The answer should be liberal fluid intake

In hypovolemia, the blood volume is too low that the body doesn't have enough oxygen supply. The volume of blood is related to the fluid intake of the patient. The aim of the treatment will be to increase the blood volume. Liberal fluid intake should increase the blood volume as the fluid intake is also increased.
