Fluid and Electrolyte Management

Fluid and electrolyte management involves maintaining the right balance of water and minerals, like sodium and potassium, in the body. This balance is essential for functions such as muscle movement, nerve signaling, and hydration. Healthcare providers monitor intake and output, use IV fluids, and adjust diets or medications to correct imbalances caused by illness, dehydration, or other conditions. Proper management helps ensure cells and organs work efficiently, prevents complications, and supports overall health.
