Nassau County Dehydration Injury Lawyers
Nursing home patients are uniquely susceptible to serious medical complications when they are not properly fed or hydrated. Feeding patients and providing them with adequate liquids can sometimes be a struggle. Patients may be taking medications that cause them to be nauseous. Some patients may want to skip meals because they are depressed or ill.
While challenges may arise, nursing homes are responsible to provide the care that their patients require. Nursing home staff must be patient, nurses must be vigilant and nursing home facilities must have adequate measures in place to ensure that patients receive the nutrition and liquids they require.
Injuries From Malnutrition and Dehydration
When nursing home patients do not receive proper nutrition and hydration, they are more susceptible to infection, illness, fatigue, depression and other medical complications. In some cases, a lack of sufficient nutrition and hydration can cause nursing home patients to suffer fatal injuries.
