The Consequences of Dehydration and Malnutrition
The health and wellbeing of an elderly person depends on whether he or she is getting appropriate amounts of vitamins and minerals, protein and liquids. Not only is this critical for helping the elderly person maintain strength, it is necessary to fend off illnesses.
Malnutrition and dehydration can result in a wide range of physical and even psychological problems. They can include heart problems, lung diseases and kidney diseases, as well as depression. Nursing home staff must also be aware of how medications provided to elderly people impact the absorption of vitamins and minerals in order to prevent problems.
Why Does Malnutrition and Dehydration Happen?
It is not uncommon for elderly people to lose their appetite or even their ability to feed themselves. Nursing home staff is paid in order to make certain that residents are still eating and getting liquids. This can be challenging, but it is necessity and they should be held accountable for the harm caused when they fail to do this.
