Introduction
Introduction :
Can any on tell me what fluid balance might be and why it is important in the human body?
Imagine your 2- year old sister has been ill for two days with diarrhea and vomiting. She becomes very lethargic and has a high temperature. Your mother takes her to the hospital emergency room where they begin IV therapy with D5/NS and medication to control the vomiting and diarrhea. Within just a couple of hours her fever has dropped and she is again full of energy. What happened? How could this happen so fast?
For the next two class periods we will be discussing the causes of both dehydration and edema. You will be able to tell me in detail why your little sister got so sick.
As medical professionals, we all need to know a great deal about fluid balance and imbalance. To care for our patients we have to know how to monitor and accurately measure the various fluids that go in and out of a patient. In this lesson, we will explore the causes of fluid imbalance and how it is monitored. You will learn how to record the intake and output of your patients. We will also be learning how to accurately measure the different body fluids that you may encounter during your hospital rotations.
Learning Style: Auditory
Outline
1. Fluid Balance
A. Homeostasis
1. define and discuss importance to good health
2. Fluid Imbalance
A. Define imbalance
I. Dehydration
A.  Causes
1.  Diarrhea
2.  Vomiting
3.  Bleeding
4.  Excessive perspiration (diaphoresis)
5.  Poor fluid intake
B.  Symptoms
1.  Fever is present.
2.  There is a decrease in urine.
3.  Urine is concentrated.
4.  Weight loss occurs.
5.  Membranes are dry and it is difficult to swallow.
6.  Tongue is coated and thickened.
7.  Skin becomes hard and cracks and is dry and warm
II. Edema
A. Causes
1.  High salt intake
2.  Infections
3.  Injuries or burns
4.  Certain kidney diseases
5.  Certain heart diseases or heart inefficiencies
6.  Sitting too long in one position
7.  Infiltration of IV fluid
C.  Symptoms
1.  Decrease in urine output
2.  Gain in weight
3.  Puffiness or swelling
4.  Sometimes shortness of breath / Learning Style: Auditory, Visual and Psychological.
This first part of the lesson uses auditory and visual learning modalities. There are several questions being asked and places for class discussion to bring in the interactive mode to the lesson.
1. Notes for Objective 1
Have student think about how they feel when they get too thirsty or have exercised too vigorously? What makes
them feel better? Why?
Notes for Objective 2.
Have students give ideas on what they think the causes of dehydration might be. How rapidly can it occur for any person? Is there a particular group or groups that might be more susceptible to dehydration?
Briefly give examples and discuss why the different symptoms occur during dehydration. Have them think of any personal experiences they may have had with dehydration either through illness or perhaps heat and exercise in the summer.
Discuss why some of these things cause edema.
Give students examples of edema that they may have seen, such as an elderly relative with swollen feet.
Relate hospital experience of how sometime patients that are overloaded will literally leak fluid through their skin.
Give examples of why these things happen and how doctors attempt to correct them with medication. Discuss shortness of breath due to fluid in the lungs and how it is drained out.
3.Show example of I&O chart on overhead

A. Describe methods used to fill out chart

1. define terms on chart
2. explain how IV fluids are measured

B.  Practice filling in one row as a group

C. Have the students complete the chart. This
should be done as an individual task, not in a
group. / Learning style: Kinesthetic, Visual and Emotional.
The charts provide the students with hands-on interaction. The student also has to stay on task to complete the activity.
3. Notes for Objective 3
Do the first column of the chart together as a class. Make sure different students provide answers to each item.
4. Demonstrate equation to convert ounces to cubic centimeters (cc).
30 X (number of ounces) = number of cc’s / Learning Style: Visual
4. Notes for Objective 4
Show students several examples of this equation and work them together as a group.
5. Have students, working in pairs, measure various labeled body fluids as they fill out a second chart. / Learning style: Kinesthetic, Sociological and Physiological
Sections 5 allows for a great deal of hands-on learning by the students. The small group interactions allow them to talk about what is happening to reinforce the learning. They have a great deal of mobility during this section as well.
5. Notes for Objective 5
Skills lab: provide a variety of “fluids“for students to measure and record.
6. Define any and all medical terms students are not
familiar to students. / Learning Style: Print and psychological
The student will have to use research sources available to them and find the information.
6. Notes for Objective 6.
Some of the terms might be edema, IV, infiltration. Have students ask about those they don’t know. Have students use their Medical dictionaries to research the terms and share them with the class.
Application
Guided Practice :
Complete one column of the Intake and output record as a group using the overhead projector.
Independent Practice :
Have each student complete the Intake and Output Practice worksheets.
Set up a lab area with different examples of intake and output fluids. Have students, in pairs, rotate through the lab area and record the various fluids on a second I&O record chart.
Summary
Review :
Briefly review fluid balance and imbalance. Define dehydration and edema.
As a group, review the charts the students completed.
Discuss how the patient in the case study may be affected by the intake or output of the various body fluids. Ask the students, is the patient in the case study dehydrated or suffering from edema? How did they reach their conclusion?
Emphasize the importance of good record keeping. Ask students, what could have happened to this patient if the volumes had been incorrectly recorded? Have them give examples of mistakes that could be made. Can the students identify whether the patient will be dehydrated or edematous depending on the error that is made?
Have students consider experiences they or family members may have had with fluid imbalances. Could these have been avoided? How?
Learning Style: Auditory, Visual and Interactive.
The students will what they learned, use their charts to help focus on the lesson and participate in oral discussions about the content of the lesson.
Evaluation
Informal Assessment :
Discuss, as a group, the correct answer for each part of the chart. Have the student’s trade papers to grade them.
Learning Style: Visual
The student will observe the correct answers on an overhead chart and on their peer’s paper.
Formal Assessment :
Provide the students with a different case study and I&O chart for them complete on an individual basis during another class period. This will be part of a test, on various types of record keeping, at the completion of the unit.
Learning Style: Visual ,Kinesthetic and Psychological
The student is using the chart and recording the information. They will also be analyzing the data and determining the correct placement of the information onto the chart.
Extension/Enrichment :The student will research a disease or disorder that affects fluid balance and predict how intake and output may be affected.
