Dehydration

Nursing Home Neglect Attorney in Los Angeles

If you are in a nursing home and unable to care for yourself, the chances are good that at sometime during your stay you will not receive adequate liquids. This could result in just a temporary period of discomfort. But if the period between liquid refreshment is prolonged, it could lead to dehydration, serious injury or even death.

Some signs of dehydration are:

• Increased heart rate
• Decreased urination
• Headaches
• Cramps
• Tingling in the feet and hands
• Fatigue

If your loved one has experienced one or more of these symptoms or if you suspect that he or she is not receiving sufficient liquids, contact your doctor, and then contact Peter K. Levine as soon as possible.
