Summary (15 minute)
Many patients' lives can saved entirely by rehydration with ORS
To assess for severity of dehydration, look for changes in mental status, low blood pressure, high pulse rate or weak pulse, dry membranes, tenting with skin pinch, or low urine output.
All patients showing signs of dehydration require immediate rehydration. If moderate dehydration use ORS, if severe dehydration use IV fluids and ORS.
Antibiotics can shorten the duration of illness, but are only recommended for patients with severe dehydration.
Post-test and Course Evaluation: Distribute both course materials and collect when finished
