BODY FLUID AND ELECTROLYTES • Body fluids and electrolytes play an important role in maintaining homeostasis of the body • Body fluids transport nutrients, electrolytes, and oxygen to cells and carrying waste products away from cells. • Many diseases and their treatments can affect fluid and electrolyte balance. • E.g a patient with metastatic breast or lung cancer may develop hypercalcemia because of bone destruction from tumor invasion. • Chemotherapy prescribed to treat the cancer may result in nausea and vomiting and, subsequently, dehydration and acidbase imbalances. • When correcting dehydration with IV fluids, the patient requires close monitoring to prevent fluid overload. •
