Sleepwalking places the patient at Risk for Injury because of his lack of awareness of the surroundings. The nurse's primary intervention would be to protect the patient from injury (e.g., falls) while sleepwalking, also called somnambulation. Because the child is only 6 years old, administering and teaching about medications and having him verbalize feelings would not be useful. Providing a quiet environment would likely be ineffective and certainly not the focus of interventions.

Sodium is the major action in the extracellular fluid (ECF). Its primary function is to regulate fluid volume. When sodium is reabsorbed in the kidney, water and potassium are also reabsorbed, thereby maintaining ECF volume. Potassium is a key electrolyte in cellular metabolism. Calcium is responsible for bone health and neuromuscular and cardiac functions. It is also an essential factor in blood clotting. Magnesium is a mineral used in more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body.
