Pediatric Dehydration and Fluid Therapy
Pediatric dehydration management is essential in Zambian pediatric and nursing programs. This topic covers assessment of dehydration severity, oral rehydration therapy (ORT), and intravenous fluid calculation using the Holliday-Segar formula. Students learn to identify signs of shock, manage electrolyte imbalances, and prevent complications. With diarrheal diseases common in Zambia, this skill is vital for child survival and a core component of clinical exams.
