Systems in Fluid and Renal, GI, endocrine, respiratory, insensible losses
Electrolyte Regulation
- decrease in taste, smell, and thirst
- comorbidities: DM, arthritis, HF, hypertension
- medications: laxatives, diuretics
- thirst sensation is blunted
Age Related Changed
- lose olfactory fibers & receptors
with Fluids
- decrease in olfactory function
- loss of ability to discriminate smells
- affects taste sensation
- impacts oral intake
- fluid volume deficit
Hypovolemia - dehydration
- can develop quickly
