*Additional Information from Mrs. Ferguson*
 Portions of the content in the Infection and Pain chapters were covered in Fundamentals, therefore she will not be covering all of the content. You are responsible for knowing the content not covered in MS as it was covered in Fundamentals.

Mrs. Ferguson will be going into more detail for the Fluid and Electrolyte  chapter. You learned some Fluid and Electrolyte material  in Fundamentals,  but Mrs. Ferguson will be into more detail related to signs and symptoms and care of the patient with Fluid and Electrolyte imbalances.
