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.
However, when you drink a lot of water in a short period of time, you may experience some of the symptoms of too much, too soon. If you have kidney disease, you may not be able to excrete excess water as efficiently and can suffer from over-hydration.
