💡 Key takeaways from this gem of a guide:
Assessment: Identify causes—infectious, inflammatory, or medication-related.
Diagnosis: Risk for fluid volume deficit. Impaired skin integrity.
Planning & Interventions: Oral rehydration, IV fluids if severe, skin barrier creams, monitor vitals.
Evaluation: Output monitoring, return to normal bowel pattern, hydration levels.
