DEHYDRATION NURSING HOME ABUSE
Having your loved one be hydrated is not something that families should have to be worried about when their loved ones lives in a nursing home, but unfortunately, there are many residents who suffer from dehydration. Dehydration is a very common symptom of nursing home abuse and it can be a very serious problem. Family members should know about the signs of dehydration so they can look for it in their loved ones. The symptoms include:
- Low blood pressure
- Confusion
- Sunken eyes
- Dry mouth
- Rapid heart rate
- Difficulty walking
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Inability to sweat
- Inability to produce tears
- Dark urine
Dehydration is a very serious condition for anyone and can be especially dangerous for the elderly. There are several different reasons why a nursing home resident may become dehydrated. There are instances in which patients are not properly monitored and there are also instances in which liquids are withheld so staff members do not need to assist residents with using the facilities as often. If your loved one has suffered dehydration because they have been neglected while living in a nursing home, the FItz Law Group is here to help you.
