Dehydration happens when your body loses more fluids than it takes in. Your body needs water for a variety of processes, including regulating your temperature, getting rid of waste, and lubricating your joints. Staying hydrated is particularly important as we age as we are at higher risk for complications like constipation, electrolyte imbalances, kidney problems and loss of balance. This program was developed to assist you in identifying residents at risk and being alert to signs and symptoms of dehydration to avoid negative outcomes.
OBJECTIVES:
- Define dehydration
- Identify the impact of dehydration can have on the elderly
- Identify the signs and symptoms of early dehydration
- Define what treatment modalities will assist in preventing or treating dehydration
Attendees will be awarded 1.0 ANCC contact hours for completing the course/webinar.
