- Providing frequent oral care can help alleviate the discomfort of dry mouth without adding to fluid intake, which is crucial for a patient on fluid restriction. Considering the amount of fluids that can be provided over a shift helps in planning and evenly distributing the restricted fluid intake throughout the day, ensuring the patient does not exceed their fluid limit.
