I. Introduction
DEHYDRATION (hypohydration) is defined as the excessive loss ofbody fluid. It is literally the removal ofwater .
Inphysiological terms, it entails a deficiency of fluid within an organism. Dehydration ofskin andmucous membranes can
be calledmedical dryness.Dehydration can be mild, moderate, or severe based on how much of the body's fluid is lost ornot replenished. When it is severe, dehydration is a life-threatening emergency. Water is a critical element of the body,
and adequate hydration is a must to allow the body to function. Up to 75% of the body's weight is made up of water. Most
of the water is found within the cells of the body (intracellular space). The rest is found in the extracellular space, which
consists of the blood vessels (intravascular space) and the spaces between cells (interstitial space).
There are three types of dehydration: hypotonic or hyponatremic (primarily a loss of electrolytes,sodium in particular),
hypertonic or hypernatremia (primarily a loss of water), and isotonic or isonatremic (equal loss of water and electrolytes).
In humans, the most commonly seen type of dehydration by far is isotonic (isonatraemic) dehydration which effectively
equates withhypovolemia,but the distinction of isotonic from hypotonic or hypertonic dehydration may be important when
treating people who become dehydrated. Physiologically, dehydration, despite the name, does not simply mean loss of
water, as water and solutes (mainly sodium) are usually lost in roughly equal quantities to how they exist inblood plasma.
In hypotonic dehydration,intravascular water shifts to theextravascular space,exaggerating intravascular volume
depletion for a given amount of total body water loss. Neurological complications can occur in hypotonic and hypertonic
states. The former can lead toseizures,while the latter can lead toosmotic cerebral edema upon rapid rehydration.
Dehydration occurs when the amount of water leaving the body is greater than the amount being taken in. The body is
very dynamic and always changing. This is especially true with water in the body. We lose water routinely when we:
breathe and humidified air leaves the body (this can be seen on a cold day (the breath you see in the air is water
that has been exhaled)
sweat to cool the body

Eliminate waste by urinating or having a bowel movement.
In a normal day, a person has to drink a significant amount of water to replace this routine loss.
Table 1 Daily Fluid Requirement
The body is able to monitor the amount of fluid it needs to function. The thirst mechanism signals the body to drink water
when the body is dry. As well, hormones like anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) work with the kidney to limit the amount of water
lost in the urine when the body needs to conserve water.
Dehydration is commonly caused by loss of body fluids through prolonged vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, and frequent
urination. The immediate causes of dehydration include not enough water, too much water loss, or some combination of
the two. Sometimes it is not possible to consume enough fluids because we are too busy, lack the facilities or strength to
drink, or are in an area without potable water.

II. Significance of the Study:
This study will enable the students to understand better about dehydration and the different risk factors for developing the
disease. May this case study would help the students to understand and describe normal laboratory values for commonly
ordered dehydration. Since we are client- centered we really should consider our patients comfort and this study will give
the students sufficient knowledge that will help them to plan and implement nursing care plans that will satisfy patientsneeds.

INTERPRETATION:
HIGH HEMOGLOBINIndicates an above-average concentration of oxygen-carrying proteins in your blood. The main component of red blood
cells. Hemoglobin count also referred to as hemoglobin level indicates your blood's oxygen-carrying capacity. A high
hemoglobin count is somewhat different from a high red blood cell count, because each cell may not have the same
amount of hemoglobin proteins.
INTERPRETATION:
HIGH HEMATOCRIT
High hematocrits can be seen in people living at high altitudes and inchronic smokers.Dehydration produces a falsely
high hematocrit that disappears when proper fluid balance is restored.
INTERPRETATION:
HIGH SEGMENTERS
One of the types of neutrophils found in the blood. They would be elevated if the overall white count is up, usually due tosome kind of infection.

INTERPRETATION:
PROTEIN: TRACE
Protein in your urine, as trace amounts of protein are excreted in your urine as part of normal urine production. Theconcern is when you have too much protein in your urine. This is a symptom known as proteinuria.
INTERPRETATION:
HIGH RBC
Hematuria is the presence of abnormal numbers of red cells in urine due to: glomerular damage, tumors which erode the
urinary tract anywhere along its length, kidney trauma, urinary tract stones, renal infarcts, acute tubular necrosis, upperand lower Uri urinary tract infections, nephrotoxins, and physical stress.
INTERPRETATION:
HIGH PUS CELLS
A few pus cells or a white blood cell in urine is quite normal. But too many of them may signal a problem somewhere in
yoururinary tract,the commonest of which is a urinary tract infection (UTI). Your lab will usually report the result asnumber of cells counted per high power field of the microscope (hpf) or number of WBCs/mL of urine. A high number of
pus cells in urine are called pyuria.

VII. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
-
7/24/2019 129084924 CASE STUDY of AGE With Moderate Dehydration
12/24
The human digestive system is a complex series of organs and glands that processes food. In order to use the food we
eat our body has to break the food down into smaller molecules that it can process; it also has to excrete waste. Most of
the digestive organs (like the stomach and intestine) are tube-like and contain the food as it makes its way through the
body. The digestive system is essentially a long, twisting tube that runs from the mouth to the anus, plus a few other
organs (like the liver and pancreas) that produce or store digestive chemicals.
The Digestive Process
The start of the process - the mouth:
The digestive process begins in the mouth. Food is partly broken down by the process of chewing and by the chemical
action of salivary enzymes (these enzymes are produced by the salivary glands and break down starches intosmaller molecules).
On the way to the stomach: the esophagus
- After being chewed and swallowed, the food enters the esophagus. The esophagus is a long tube that runs from the
mouth to the stomach. It uses rhythmic, wave-like muscle movements (called peristalsis) to force food from the throat into
the stomach. This muscle movement gives us the ability to eat or drink even when we're upside-down.
In the stomach
- The stomach is a large, sack-like organ that churns the food and bathes it in a very strong acid (gastric acid). Food in the
stomach that is partly digested and mixed with stomach acids is called chyme.
In the small intestine
- After being in the stomach, food enters the duodenum, the f irst part of the small intestine. It then enters the jejunum and
then the ileum (the final part of the small intestine). In the small intestine, bile (produced in the liver and stored in the gall

bladder),pancreatic enzymes, and other digestive enzymes produced by the inner wall of the small intestine help in the
breakdown of food.
In the large intestine
- After passing through the small intestine, food passes into the large intestine. In the large intestine, some of
the water and electrolytes (chemicals like sodium) are removed from the food. Many microbes (bacteria like Bacteroides,
Lactobacillus acidophilus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella) in the large intestine help in the digestion process. The first part
of the large intestine is called the cecum (the appendix is connected to the cecum). Food then travels upward in
the ascending colon. The food travels across the abdomen in the transverse colon, goes back down the other
side of the body in the descending colon, and then through the sigmoid colon.
The end of the process
- Solid waste is then stored in the rectum until it is excreted via the anus

Digestive System Glossary
Anus
- The opening at the end of the digestive system from which feces (waste) exits the body.
Appendix
- A small sac located on the cecum.
Ascending colon
- The part of the large intestine that run upwards; it is located after the cecum.
Bile
- A digestive chemical that is produced in the liver, stored in the gall bladder, and secreted into the small intestine.
Cecum
- The first part of the large intestine; the appendix is connected to the cecum.
Chyme
- Food in the stomach that is partly digested and mixed with stomach acids. Chyme goes on to the small intestine for
further digestion.
Descending colon
- The part of the large intestine that run downwards after the transverse colon and before the sigmoid colon.
Duodenum
- The first part of the small intestine; it is C-shaped and runs from the stomach to the jejunum.

15/24
Epiglottis
- The flap at the back of the tongue that keeps chewed food from going down the windpipe to the lungs. When you
swallow, the epiglottis automatically closes. When you breathe, the epiglottis opens so that air can go in and out of the
windpipe.
Esophagus
- The long tube between the mouth and the stomach. It uses rhythmic muscle movements (called peristalsis) to force food
from the throat into the stomach.
Gall bladder
- A small, sac-like organ located by the duodenum. It stores and releases bile (a digestive chemical which is produced in
the liver) into the small intestine.
Ileum
- The last part of the small intestine before the large intestine begins.
Jejunum
- The long, coiled mid-section of the small intestine; it is between the duodenum and the ileum.
Liver
- A large organ located above and in front of the stomach. It filters toxins from the blood, and makes bile (which breaks
down fats) and some blood proteins.
Mouth
- The first part of the digestive system, where food enters the body. Chewing and salivary enzymes in the mouth are the
beginning of the digestive process (breaking down the food).
-
7/24/2019 129084924 CASE STUDY of AGE With Moderate Dehydration
16/24
Pancreas
- An enzyme-producing gland located below the stomach and above the intestines. Enzymes from the pancreas help in
the digestion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the small intestine.
Peristalsis
- Rhythmic muscle movements that force food in the esophagus from the throat into the stomach. Peristalsis is involuntary
- you cannot control it. It is also what allows you to eat and drink while upside-down.
Rectum
- The lower part of the large intestine, where feces are stored before they are excreted.
Salivary glands
- Glands located in the mouth that produce saliva. Saliva contains enzymes that break down carbohydrates (starch) into
smaller molecules.
Sigmoid colon
- The part of the large intestine between the descending colon and the rectum.
Stomach
- a sack-like, muscular organ that is attached to the esophagus. Both chemical and mechanical digestion takes place in
the stomach.When food enters the stomach; it is churned in a bath of acids and enzymes.
Transverse colon
- The part of the large intestine that runs horizontally across the abdomen
