Fluids and Electrolytes and related concept nutrition

Gloria has shown clear signs of deficient fluid volume, rather than a potential to develop the condition. Gloria’s postpartum hemorrhage prompted dizziness, fatigue, and uncontrolled bleeding. In turn, the combination of these side effects has compromised her fluid volume, resulting in a DFV diagnosis. While Gloria is still experiencing general soreness from her labour, she is not experiencing any acute pain or impairment of her tissue integrity.

\Additionally, addressing the DFV will ensure that Gloria will be able to distinguish complications related to her fluid volume should they arise.
