👉 A scheduled fluid is a planned, routine administration of a liquid medication, typically prescribed by a healthcare provider to maintain or correct fluid balance in the body. This could include intravenous fluids like normal saline, dextrose solutions, or other specialized fluids, given either intravenously into a vein or through an injection. The schedule is determined based on the patient's specific needs, such as hydration status, electrolyte balance, or treatment of conditions like dehydration, edema, or heart failure. Regular monitoring and adjustments are made to ensure optimal fluid levels and patient safety.
