proper body fluid and electrolyte balance is crucial for preventing shock and ensuring successful patient outcomes. Fluid imbalances, particularly hypovolemia (low blood volume) or hypervolemia (excess fluid), can lead to shock, characterized by inadequate tissue perfusion and oxygenation. Management focuses on restoring fluid volume and electrolyte balance through appropriate fluid administration, monitoring vital signs, and addressing the underlying cause of the imbalance.
