Disordered water balance affects as many as 60% of severely psychiatrically disabled persons. Most patients do not progress to the point of a medical emergency, but are in a state of mild chronic intoxication, making them unavailable for treatment and requiring nursing care to treat the effects of the chronic intoxicated state. Interventions depend on the severity of the disordered water balance and vary from teaching fluid intake control to controlling all patient access to fluids. Nursing management of water intoxication is a trial and error approach. Through a thorough assessment and close observation of the patient, the nurse can determine which interventions would be most appropriate for the patient.
水代谢平衡紊乱影响多达60%的严重精神残疾者。大多数患者不会发展到医疗紧急情况的程度，而是处于轻度慢性中毒状态，这使得他们无法接受治疗，并且需要护理来治疗慢性中毒状态的影响。干预措施取决于水代谢平衡紊乱的严重程度，范围从教导液体摄入控制到控制患者所有的液体摄入途径。水中毒的护理管理是一种反复试验的方法。通过对患者进行全面评估和密切观察，护士可以确定哪些干预措施最适合该患者。
