Patient will maintain electrolyte levels within normal limits or showed improvement in Sodium result during hospitalisation. 1. Assess patient for any physical signs of electrolyte imbalance such as cardiac, neurologic, and musculoskeletal symptoms so that early nursing intervention can be done to patient

2. Obtain the BUSE sample and evaluate the results to allow for prompt diagnosis and treatment of any abnormalities.

3. Administer intravenous fluids as ordered to promote the correction of low sodium

1. Help client to perform active or passive ROM exercises to all extremities every 2 to 4 hours to foster muscle strength and tone, and maintain the joint mobility

2. Turn and reposition patient at least every 2 hours to prevent skin breakdown.

3. Teach family member of the client to maintain proper body alignment at all times to maintain optimal musculoskeletal balance and physiologic function.

4. Help patient perform self-care activities, assist during patient turning and sitting in his bed and meal time. Begin slowly and increase daily, as tolerated to regain independence and enhances self-esteem of the client.

3. Reposition the patient 2 hourly to reduce pressure on bony prominence areas.

4. Change all the wet or dirty linen immediately to prevent softening of skin and cause skin breakdown.

5. Keep the bed linen wrinkled-free and free from particles to prevent skin irritation and eventually skin breakdown.

6. Keep the head of bed at not more than 30 degree as tolerated by patient to prevent sliding down of patient in which can cause pressure over the buttock area, causing skin breakdown.
