Question

Pamela Allen is a 65-year-old woman who has been married to Clifford for 40 years. Their only child, Gary, has Down syndrome and lives with them. Mrs. Allen stopped working outside the home after Gary was born to care for him. She has recently been diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer and had surgery last month (colectomy and colostomy). Because the tumor extended into the perineum and lymph nodes, she has been advised to start radiation and chemotherapy. She underwent treatment for endometrial cancer at age 50 but did not receive chemotherapy or radiation at that time.

If Mrs. Allen experiences dehydration following chemotherapy administration, what suggestions could you make to improve her fluid status?
