Use of an Educational Intervention to Improve Fluid Restriction Adherence in Patients on Hemodialysis.

Fluid restriction is a major lifestyle change for patients with end stage renal disease who are on hemodialysis. Educating patients about fluid management supports self-management of their prescribed fluid restrictions. Using a pre-test/post-test design, this project aimed to educate 17 patients on chronic hemodialysis about the management of fluid restrictions for improved renal fluid adherence.
