Dehydration

1. Identify signs and symptoms of dehydration in pediatric patients. What are considered early signs and late signs? Some signs of dehydration in pediatric patients are: skin color that turns gray, and cold to touch, poor turgor, dry mucus membranes, absent of tear, elevated temperature, sunken eyeball, sunken fontanel, rapid pulse, rapid respiration, lethargic, irritable behavior and decrease urine output. Early signs of dehydration are: tachycardia, sunken fontanels; dry skin and mucus…

REASON FOR ENCOUNTER: Initial treatment for mild dehydration. SUBJECTIVE Background (Description and history of the present illness or medical condition including previous approaches to treatment and responses; include other medical problems, medication experience per patient, drug allergies, current meds, etc.) Medical conditions: TA is a 3-year-old white male who needs to be treated with his oral rehydration. He has 4 watery stools in the past 24 hours and no blood in the stools. The…

Name: Sebastian Sak Lab Partners: Tim Gronet TA: Feifei Xu Determining Molar Enthalpy of Dehydration of Sodium Acetate Trihydrate Purpose: In this lab, two solid substances, sodium acetate and sodium acetate trihydrate, will be analyzed for the heat of solution for both processes. This allowed the calculation of the molar enthalpy of dehydration of sodium acetate trihydrate. Calorimetry was used to experimentally determine the heat of solution for both reactions. Procedure: This lab was…

mother as a young baby for the good of all her family. When Beloved came back to life she walks out of the nearby river. As people account it "A fully dressed woman walked out of the water." (Morrison 50) Beloved then proceeds to be suffering of dehydration…

leave to health issues. We need to keep water bottles in the classrooms to keep the children healthy, happy, and safe. Water bottles are a necessity for life. If our bodies do not consume enough water, we can potentially become dehydrated. Dehydration in children can lead to, dry mouths, no tears when they children cry, depressed/sleepy looking eyes, exhaustion, and even death. No mother or father would agree to ban water bottles from the school environment when this could happen to their…

Dehydration in the Older Adult Upon Hospitalization “It 's paradoxical that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn 't appeal to anyone” (Rooney, n.d.). As longer life spans and medical technology improves, the aging population in the United States will increase to about 20% of the population (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2013). With increased life expectancy, different diseases affect our aging adults. No longer is…

The dehydration of Cyclohexanol requires going through an acid-catalyzed elimination of water for the synthesis of cyclohexane from cyclohexanol. To get cyclohexane from cyclohexanol you must remove the cycloalkane with fractional distillation, drying with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and analyzed by GC data and the bromine test. The reaction we are trying to accomplish going from cyclohexanol to cyclohexene is a secondary alcohol going through an E1 reaction. This is the unimolecular…

Connection Between Chronic Pain and Dehydration It seems as though the present-day media cares a great deal about terminal illnesses. Sure, having one’s life stolen before one’s time is a horrible thing, but there are other people who suffer, as well. A perfect example of this is people who experience chronic pain day in and day out. You see, even if their situation doesn’t get any worse, and even if it doesn’t pose a direct threat to their lives, they are still in a tricky spot. In a lot of…

How Dehydration And Chronic Fatigue Are Connected? Summary: Water is the main ingredients required for our bodies to work in a proper manner. It's important to drink the daily required amount of fresh clean water to prevent dehydration. If you’re suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, then dehydration might occur more frequently. Main Content: When we have chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), it is quite common for us to develop the problem of dehydration. The natural thirst reflex of our body…

assessed older adults because these individuals are more sensitive to dehydration. This is because aging adults have “strained muscle mass” and a reduced thirst alert system, often leading to “involuntary dehydration” (Suhr, Patterson, Austin, Heffner 2010, p.840). The article reveals, recent studies have detected a distinction between learning and memory to increased blood pressure. These studies have also discovered dehydration can cause an increase in blood pressure because there is an…
