Hypernatremia

In this plan

1. P

   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I understand high sodium is usually caused by too little body water, not simply too much salt
   • I know very high or fast-rising sodium may affect my brain, muscles, or alertness
   • I know the cause may be fluid loss, poor water intake, medicines, kidney problems, or a hormone problem
   • I never try to lower sodium quickly because correcting it too fast may harm my brain
