Mr. J, age 42, is a construction worker in Las Vegas who lives with his daughter and grandson, Sammy. He recently noticed that a mole on his face seemed to be getting larger and darker. At first, he did not worry because he was in the sun a lot and assumed the change may have been caused by sunburn.

Fluid and electrolyte imbalance is one of the many signs of dehydration, this occurs in result to an excessive loss of water from the body tissues. This is often accompanied by an imbalance of electrodes such as sodium, chloride and potassium. “Sodium imbalances are particularly important in patients who need intensive care because both hypo- and hypernatremia are associated with increased mortality in these patient’s regardless of age, gender and diagnoses.” (Balcı et. al., 2013). Overal...
