The Interrelationship between the Concepts of Nutrition and Fluid and Electrolyte Balance
You learned this week in Nursing 160 specific information about fluids and electrolytes and the importance of their balance.
Next week in Nursing 160 fluid and electrolyte balance will be applied to the post-operative patient and how that post-operative state affects that balance.
In this course, focused on the elderly, fluid and electrolyte balance is also a concern, but the cause of imbalance is different. This chapter talks about the effect of nutrition as it relates to fluid and electrolyte imbalance.
