➤ How can profuse diarrhea in this patient lead to other complications?
Profuse diarrhea risks dehydration, electrolyte imbalances (especially potassium and sodium), and acute kidney injury. It also increases perineal skin breakdown and malnutrition if losses are prolonged. Track intake and output, check basic metabolic panels, replace fluids and electrolytes, and provide skin care to prevent pressure injuries and further infection.
