Avoid fluid overload while managing thirst and dry mouth
The "Dry Mouth Prevention and Thirst Avoidance" Patient Education Kit is live now in the Library. This kit helps dialysis patients see how to keep within fluid limits while managing symptoms like thirst and dry mouth.
Our handout "Is Your Mouth In a Drought?"covers topics like:
- Lifestyle modifications to avoid dry mouth
- Nutrition modifications that avoid thirst
- Medication considerations that can lead to dry mouth
- Options for managing thirst that don't lead to fluid overload
The handout pairs with the "Is Your Mouth In a Drought?" bulletin board, which emphasizes these topics and highlights lifestyle changes that help avoid thirst. And the cross-word worksheet game in this kit helps reinforce these principles in a simple and engaging way.

Patient Education Kit: Ways to prevent thirst and treat dry mouth
Each patient education kit includes: handout, bulletin board and game. Designed specifically for dialysis clinics, these kits teach the most pertinent topics of renal nutrition & health for dialysis patients. Many private practice renal dietitians find them useful for their own patients.
Handouts from KNI are always simple , beautiful and interactive. We've added QR video codes to help patients remember nutrition principles in the handouts after they've left your dialysis clinic. And now we're adding Spanish language handouts with Spanish-language videos!
KNI bulletin boards are guaranteed to take less than 20 minutes from download to done! Complete instructions and all needed graphics are included in the downloaded PDF.
