Which intervention should the nurse implement to maintain adequate hydration in an immobile patient?

Providing a straw for easier drinking can facilitate fluid intake, but it may not be suitable for all patients or situations. Individualized assessment and patient preference should be considered.
Continuous intravenous fluids may not be necessary for all immobile patients and should be based on specific indications determined by the healthcare provider. Oral intake should be encouraged unless contraindicated.
