Welcome back to The Daily Dose: Nursing with RN Bryant! In today's episode—Part 2 of our in-depth NCLEX review on Fluids & Electrolytes—we’re exploring Sodium Imbalances. Whether you're prepping for your NCLEX, brushing up as a new grad, or looking to solidify your foundational knowledge, this episode breaks down Hyponatremia (low sodium) and Hypernatremia (high sodium) clearly and thoroughly.

Together, we'll cover:

• ✅ Easy-to-understand explanations of sodium’s critical role in fluid balance and nerve function.
• ✅ Common causes and risk factors of sodium imbalances.
• ✅ Signs and symptoms you can’t afford to miss—remember our helpful mnemonic, "FRIED SALT"!
• ✅ Detailed nursing interventions, including IV fluid selection, safety precautions, and patient monitoring.
• ✅ NCLEX-style clinical examples to boost your critical thinking.

Make sure you're subscribed so you don’t miss our next episode (Part 3), where we'll dive into Potassium Imbalances (Hypokalemia and Hyperkalemia), essential knowledge for managing cardiac patients.
