Define the Disturbances in Fluid Balance?
The correct functioning of cells and tissues depends on appropriate concentrations of nutrients; so any abnormal loss or accumulation of Fluid can cause a variety of problems. These problems may be caused by:
a) Water loss from diarrhoea, nausea, excessive perspiration, or fever, resulting in dehydration, and
b) Undesirable changes in the distribution of fluid within the body.
