Abstract
Nurses working in critical care, consisting of the intensive care and high dependency units, will encounter a broad range of diseases and conditions. Therefore, a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of common presentations is required, especially for advanced clinical practitioners (ACPs). One of the most common electrolyte disturbances seen within these areas is hyponatraemia, affecting around 40% of patients in critical care and 30% of inpatients. It is important that ACPs working in this area are aware of the symptoms and recommended diagnosis and management.
