  • Title: Water intoxication: one nursing staff's response and intervention.
    Author: Davidhizar R, Kriesl R.
    Journal: J Adv Nurs; 1993 Dec; 18(12):1975-80. PubMed ID: 8132928.
    Abstract:
    Water intoxication is a significant problem for psychiatric nurses, especially those in long-term care settings. Water intoxication can cause psychological and physiological symptoms which can lead to death. The programme described in the paper can significantly modify and change patient behaviour and assist patients in controlling their own impulses to participate in self-limiting fluid and their own self-care satisfactorily.
