HAPPY JULY 4TH TO ALL - AVOID DEHYDRATION

Dear nurses,

Just want to wish you a Happy and safe July 4th.

Above is a scenario on dehydration:

              Nick and Tina decided to go backpacking in a

                   dessert place. It is unclear why they did not make

           adequate preparation and take enough fluids.

It is midday and they are lost.

             They are beginning to feel thirsty, tired and

light headed.These are some of the symptoms of

dehydration. Sweating which also causes fluid loss,

        may go unnoticed. Electrolyte imbalances may be

caused by sweating and fluid loss.
