Preventing and managing dehydration.

Sufficient body water and electrolyte homeostasis are essential for healthy physiologic functioning. Nurses are key to preventing, detecting early, and treating fluid and electrolyte imbalances. Dehydration significantly alters both physical and psychological functioning, and older adults are at increased risk. Identifying fluid disorders early can prevent complications and reduce hospital stays. Understanding the mechanisms of fluid homeostasis enables nurses to assess, prevent, and collaborate in managing isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic dehydration.

Optimizing evaluation of nursing education programs.

Program evaluation data must be meaningful, credible, objective, and responsive. The content, inputs, process, and product model provides an effective and useful framework for organizing the evaluation process. The model is a decision/accountability-oriented approach that emphasizes both proactive and retroactive evaluation to assess program improvement and quality. The authors describe the steps used in developing an evaluation plan to address undergraduate, graduate, and specialty standards and to serve as a framework for data collection, decision-making, continuous quality improvement, and demonstration of outcomes.
