The QSEN guidelines help me to educate my students on how to create a safer clinical environment for them and the patients. 1  One way that my workplace is implementing QSENâs guidelines is by starting a shift change meeting called the âHuddleâ and students are invited to participate.
Drinking a gallon of water is safe if you spread it out throughout the day, but if you consume it in less than an hour, you risk getting water intoxication, which can be deadly. Water intoxication can happen with levels as low as 3 liters, a little less than a gallon, per hour.
Also people who participate in water drinking competitions or other such bizarre events have collapsed due to excessive water intake in the past. Too much water can harm your kidneys. So never have more than 6-7 litres of water in a day under normal conditions. Always space out your intake of water evenly throughout the day. This prevents an overload on your kidneys.
