Answer:.What factors may have predisposed Ms. Floyd to dehydration?Her age puts her at risk for dehydration and lack of nutrition.

Lastly, metroprolol can result in the side effect of diarrhea, causing further dehydration. 2.What types of fluids should be used to treat Mrs. Floyd’s condition?IV solution saline should help her hydration status, as well as drinking more water. Lastly, isotonic IV fluids can be administered to further increase her hydration.
