Condition
Dehydration (Adult)

In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I drink fluids in small, frequent sips if I can swallow and am alert.
- I move to a cool place and rest if heat or heavy sweating led to fluid loss.
- I ask which oral rehydration drink to use if vomiting or diarrhea is causing fluid loss.
- I follow my fluid limit and call my care team for advice if I have been told to limit drinks.
