b. explain the necessary things

Nurse : Okay, I will explan you about the dehydration. Dehydration happens
when your body liquid needed doesn’t fulfild. As we know 70 % of human
body is composed of liquid. Human organs such as the brain, heart, lungs,
and blood mostly contain water. So without enough water, your body can’t
work properly.
 Dehydration divide into mild, moderate, or severe dehydration
depending on how much fluid is missing from your body. It’s normal to lose
water from your body every day by sweating, breathing, peeing, and
pooping. You can lose more water than usual with a fever, diarrhea, or
vomiting. Signs of dehydration include are thirst, dry or sticky mouth, dark
yellow pee, headache, muscle cramps, rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing.
So its really important for you to fulfild your body liquid needed to
prevent you from dehydration again. You should drink for about 8 glass or
equal 2 liters water every day. Its better for you to drink it when you
stomach is empty so it can absorbed optimaly by the intestines.

Nurse : Is there anything that you still don’t understand ?

water as it needs.The way to prevent from dehydration is fulfild body liquid
needed by consuming 2 liters water every day. Its better to drink it when our
stomach is empty. Am I right?
