How to use this module

This module supplies hydration and fluid-balance assessment and the skilled language that proves it required a licensed nurse — distinguishing deficit from overload, interpreting intake and output, and managing the ordered fluid plan. Volume-overload interpretation in heart failure lives in Cardiovascular and the CHF overlay, renal fluid handling in Urinary / Renal, and daily-weight measurement in Vital Signs. Each narrative is a structured example to be edited to the actual visit and the patient's ordered fluid plan.
