Restricting fluids without a medical reason can lead to dehydration.Many older clients believe that restricting fluids will prevent incontinence and reduce the number of times that they wake up during the night.The increased osmolarity of the urine in response to reducing fluid intake increases irritation of the bladder and sphincter,increasing the sensation of needing to urinate.The other statements do not indicate practices that could potentially lead to dehydration.
