She is suffering from dehydration so she needs an IV fluid hydration.

<h3>What does IV refer to?</h3>

Intravenous means "within a vein." Most frequently, it alludes to administering medications or fluids via a needle or tube placed into a vein. This enables the medication or fluid to immediately reach your bloodstream.

IV solutions maintain fluid equilibrium when water is lost. Water makes up over 60% of the human body, with two-thirds of it being stored intracellularly. The remainder is located between cells and in blood vessels.

Isotonic IV fluid is the most popular kind. Normal saline, 5 percent dextrose solutions dissolved in water, and Lactated Ringer's solutions are examples of isotonic intravenous fluids. These are employed to treat electrolyte imbalance-induced dehydration.

Assuming an attentive posture, holding eye contact, and nodding to show you understand what another person is saying are nonverb
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Responsiveness

Explanation:

Scholars have identified three dimensions of relational communication:

The first dimension is responsiveness. This deals with how aware of the fact that we are in a conversation we are, and how deeply involved in the conversation we are.

Responsiveness manifests through various physical demonstrations and helps show the speaker that we are deeply involved  and interested in the conversation.  They include but are not limited to nodding of the head. sitting in an attentive posture, and establishing eye contact with the speaker.

The characters displayed clearly show the first dimension of relational level, which is responsiveness.

The other dimensions of relational level meanings are:

  • Liking or affection: This is concerned with the degree of positive or negative feeling that is communicated.
  • Power or control: This is refers to the power balance between the communicators.

What does dysfunctional relationships and dysfunction relationships mean?? Needs urgent attention!! Thank u!
ICE Princess25 [194]
Hey there! Hello!

So, I'm assuming by dysfunctional relationships you mean relationships between people that are not functional. Feel free to correct me if this isn't the case. 

The the most basic idea of the ideal/functional relationship would probably be mutual emotional support, resonation, understanding, sympathy, trust, and honesty between the members, just to name a few. At the very least, each member should be emotionally "there" for the other member(s). Without these basic principals, a relationship risks being dysfunctional. 

Arguments that never get resolved, frustration between partners, guilt, the lack of willingness of compromise/have empathy, and feelings of lovelessness in the relationship may follow the lack of stability in a relationship. Some of these feelings can be so overbearing that the members of the relationship feel they need to stay in it for the sake of feeling less guilt than they would. 

A dysfunctional relationship – to me, anyways – is one that seems to affect a member or the members more negatively than positively. It's one that leaves issues unresolved and one that makes the members feel worse with their partner(s) than better. The name implies it: a relationship without function. 

Hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask any additional questions if you need further clarification. :-)
